The announcement comes one week after Tanahashi made a surprise appearance at Double or Nothing after The Don Callis Family beat Paragon. Tanahashi joined Tomohiro Ishii & Brody King to save Paragon from an attack.
The Ace of NJPW is scheduled to retire on January 4, 2026, at the Tokyo Dome, and this October marks the 26th anniversary of his professional debut.
