AEW star Kazuchika Okada defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi in the
main event of today’s Wrestle Kingdom 20, with Tanahashi
taking a clean pinfall in his retirement match.
Okada retired Tanahashi after he hit the Rainmaker and then
a lariat, ending the NJPW President’s illustrious 26-year
wrestling career, with New Japan Pro-Wrestling always
present in his path.
Following the match, Okada, Jay White, Will Ospreay, Kenny
Omega, Kota Ibushi, Katsuyori Shibata, Keiji Muto, Tatsumi
Fujinami, Bushi, and Tetsuya Naito all came down to the ring
to hand The Ace a bouquet of flowers.
A total of 46,913 fans attended Wrestle Kingdom 20 at the
Tokyo Dome to witness Tanahashi’s final match.
