Shortly after announcing that he will be the latest name to leave New Japan Pro-Wrestling, KUSHIDA will have one final appearance at Korakuen Hall. On Jan. 29 at Road To New Beginning, KUSHIDA will face his mentor and friend, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi, in a special singles match. In previous interviews in the past, KUSHIDA expressed a desire to face the likes of Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada and now receives a dream match of that sort for his last night under an NJPW contract.
NJPW also released the rest of the event cards leading up to New Beginning, which can be viewed in the link below.
