On his retirement tour, Hiroshi Tanahashi will be competing at a big event for Pro Wrestling NOAH.
NOAH has confirmed that Tanahashi & Kaito Kiyomiya will be teaming up on October 11, facing off against Naomichi Marufuji & KENOH at Wrestle Odyssey. The match was set up at NJPW Destruction in Kobe when Kiyomiya showed up and invited Tanahashi to team with him.
Tanahashi — one of NJPW’s greatest-ever wrestlers — will conclude his in-ring career at Wrestle Kingdom 20 on January 4, 2026. NJPW has yet to name Tanahashi’s opponent for his retirement match.
Though he’s retiring from the ring, Tanahashi will still be heavily involve in NJPW with his behind-the-scenes role as company president.
NOAH Wrestle Odyssey 2025 is airing live on ABEMA in Japan. The card also includes two NXT wrestlers: Charlie Dempsey & Harlem Lewis. They will be facing Jack Morris & Sasaki Yuruka in a tag bout.
