AEW’s Double or Nothing Pay Per View event on May 25 saw the sudden appearance of Hiroshi Tanahashi!
In the wake of a six man tag that pit Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly against the Don Callis Family, a post match attack saw the Family with an extreme numbers advantage. Brody King and Tomohiro Ishii would even the odds somewhat though, and then Hiroshi Tanahashi would tip things over the edge, delivering a Slingblade to Kyle Fletcher.
It was on AEW Collision that Tanahashi shed a little extra light on why he had appeared. The Ace stated that Forbidden Door on August 24 in London’s O2 Arena will see his final match in the UK. Who will he face on this momentous occasion?
