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.
