First leader of the stable, Daisuke Harada.

On the seventh night of The First Navigation 2017 from January 21, Hayata and Yo-Hey defeated Hi69 and Taiji Ishimori in tag team competition. After the bout concluded, they demanded a match for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship which was vacant at the time.[1] At The Second Navigation 2017 on February 14, Atsushi Kotoge defeated "Momo No Seishun Tag" partner Daisuke Harada, match which ended their affiliation as a tag team.[2] Four nights later on February 18, Hayata and Yo-Hey unsuccessfully wrestled XX (Hi69 and Taiji Ishimori) for the vacant junior tag team titles, only for Harada and Tadasuke to step up as the next challengers after the bout concluded.[3] On February 21, 2017, Hayata and Harada defeated Kaito Kiyomiya and Takashi Sugiura in tag team competition. At the end of the event, they declared the formation of the stable alongside Yo-Hey and Tadasuke.[4]

On the sixth night of the Noah Results: Navigation With Breeze 2017 from May 27, Hayata defeated Hajime Ohara to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship. This marked the first time a member of the stable won a championship under its banner.[5] Hayata would drop the title one month later to Taiji Ishimori at Great Voyage 2017 in Fukushima on June 25, failing to score any successful defenses.[6] Hayata and Yo-Hey competed in the 2017 edition of the Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League in which thy scored a total of ten points after going against the teams of Hajime Ohara and Hitoshi Kumano, Phil Atlas and Seiya Morohashi, Daisuke Harada and Tadasuke, Mao and Shunma Katsumata, Gaston Mateo and Kaiser, and Gurukun Mask and Shuri Joe. They came second to the champion team of Hi69 and Taiji Ishimori in the final block standings, only to defeat them in the finals.[7] Hayata and Yo-Hey proceeded in defeating the latter two again at Summer Navigation 2017 Vol. 2 on August 26 to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.[8]

Hayata and Yo-Hey dropped the junior tag team titles to Hi69 and Ishimori at Navigation For The Future 2018 on January 27.[9] Hayata and Yo-Hey won the 2018 edition of the Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League as back-to-back winners with the previous year performance.[10] During the first night of the 2018 N-1 Victory from August 30, Daisuke Harada dropped the GHC junior title to Kotaro Suzuki.[11] Harada regained the title at Great Voyage in Yokohama Vol. 2 on December 16, 2018, in a bout with the stipulation that if Harada had lost the match, Ratel's would have had to disband. After the bout concluded, Yo-Hey turned on Harada and sided with Suzuki and Yoshinari Ogawa in their newly created stable of Stinger.[12]

On February 1, 2019, Hayata briefly turned on Ratel's to side himself with Yo-Hey in Stinger, only to turn back on the latters a few days later. Ratel's and Stinger shared a several month feud in the process. At Great Voyage 2019 In Yokohama on March 10, Hayata and Tadasuke unsuccessfully challenged Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinari Ogawa for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship while Daisuke Harada lost the GHC Junior title to Minoru Tanaka.[13] On May 19, 2019, Yo-Hey returned to Ratel's after the members of Stinger kicked him out of the unit due to winning the Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League alonsgide Hayata by defeating Suzuki and Ogawa in the finals.[14]

At NOAH GHC National Championship Sugiura vs. Nakajima on May 9, 2020, during a GHC Junior tag team title defense against Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinari Ogawa, Hayata turned on Yo-Hey, joining Ogawa and Suzuki to reform Stinger, and declaring the titles vacant after relinquishing his half.[15] Tadasuke then saved Yo-Hey and challenged Ogawa and Hayata for the vacant GHC junior tag team titles. Following Hayata's betrayal, Tadasuke officially announced the dissolution of Ratel's, with him and Yo-Hey going on separate ways after NOAH Stay Together Muta Fantasia one night later on May 10, 2020, where they fell short to Ogawa and Hayata for the vacant junior tag titles.[16]
