NJPW will be represented by their top competitors at both Friday’s pay-per-view and Saturday’s national TV taping.

The next NJPW star confirmed for that weekend’s huge events is Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Tanahashi is regarded as one of the top pro wrestlers of the past decade and is among the most decorated competitors in NJPW history.

Tanahashi has won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship a record seven times, and has also held the IWGP Intercontinental, IWGP Tag Team and NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team titles. In addition, Tanahashi is a two-time winner of both the G1 Climax tournament and the New Japan Cup.

He has headlined NJPW’s annual Wrestle Kingdom show in the Tokyo Dome a record eight times, winning six of the main events he has competed in at the huge show.

Tanahashi made his ROH debut in 2014 when he teamed with Japanese legend Jushin “Thunder” Liger to defeat Shinsuke Nakamura and Jado. In subsequent appearances with ROH, he has scored victories over former ROH World Champions Roderick Strong and Michael Elgin, as well as Matt Sydal and Michael Bennett.
