Hiroshi Tanahashi has signed a new deal with NJPW!

New Japan Pro Wrestling’s next event is annually the company’s biggest, as they head to the Tokyo Dome next Friday, January 4th for Wrestle Kingdom 13 (check out the full card here).

Of course, the main event will see Hiroshi Tanahashi get his shot at Kenny Omega’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship, which he earned after winning the G1 Climax for the third time in his career. With so much speculation surrounding the future of Omega and other members of The Elite, Tanahashi recently revealed his own plans via Twitter, announcing that he has re-signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling:

Translation: New Japan Pro Wrestling and contract renewal. I will do my best next year!

The 42-year old, 19-year veteran has spent the vast majority of his career with New Japan Pro Wrestling, accruing nearly every title that the promotion has to offer including the IWGP Intercontinental Title twice and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on seven occasions. At recent events, his opportunity against Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 13 was up for grabs after nominating Kazuchika Okada and ‘Switchblade’ Jay White as challengers. Of course, both failed to win.

Former WWE Star Reveals How Company Tests Wrestlers for an “Attitude Problem”

Published

on

A former WWE star took to social media to explain, in brief, how WWE evaluates its talent to determine whether they have an “attitude problem.” The post offered a glimpse into the company’s behind-the-scenes vetting process, suggesting that behavior and professionalism are actively monitored during a wrestler’s time with the promotion.

While the explanation was limited, the revelation underscores WWE’s focus on maintaining locker-room culture and managing talent dynamics. Fans and industry observers may read the post as further evidence that character and conduct behind the curtain can be as consequential as in-ring performance.

Wrestling fans and insiders are abuzz after a match at WWE Backlash was accused of “copycatting” a formula previously used by an independent wrestler, a situation some are calling a new “clone war” in the industry. The controversy highlights growing concerns about creative overlap between major promotions and the indie scene.

The debate raises questions about originality and recognition, with observers wondering whether mainstream companies should acknowledge or adapt indie ideas more transparently. As the story spreads, fans and performers alike are watching to see how promotions handle influence, credit, and creative borrowing moving forward.
