Hiromu Takahashi has been officially revealed as Shinsuke
Nakamura’s new tag team partner last night on Smackdown and
will be going by the name of Kyoki from now on.
The reveal came during a vignette after Tama Tonga and Talla
Tonga retained the WWE Tag Team titles on Smackdown, with
the Japanese stars now eyeing the titles.
“I am Kyoki. After spending years competing around the
world, finally I have arrived to WWE,” Kyoki said in the
video. “Champions, legends, monsters, I don’t care. The
stronger they are, the more fun I have. More fights. More
gold. More madness.”
Takahashi’s involvement was strongly hinted in the vignette
which aired last week, even showing his silhouette.
The former IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion has not wrestled
since February of this year when he had his last match for
New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
