Hirooki Goto In-Ring Return from Injury Announced for NJPW King of Pro Wrestling 2025

As noted before, Hirooki Goto has been out of action for New Japan Pro Wrestling since this past June due to a right elbow injury. Goto’s injury had resulted in his withdrawal from this year’s G1 Climax tournament prior to its start.

NJPW held a press conference earlier today in Japan to promote this Sunday’s Destruction in Kobe 2025 event in Kobe, Japan.

One of the guests was Goto who announced that he will be making his in-ring return at NJPW’s King of Pro Wrestling 2025 event on October 13th at the Ryogoku Sumo Hall in Tokyo.

'The Revolution is not over!'
