Ring of Honor announced on Thursday that Hiroshi Tanahashi will be competing at their upcoming 14th Anniversary show. As noted, Tanahashi mentioned in a recent blog that he suffered a dislocated shoulder at Sunday’s New Japan/CMLL Fantastica Mania Tour finale show. He saw a doctor on Monday, but he has not given an update on his status yet.
With ROH advertising him for their upcoming show, this could be an indication that the injury is not serious.
Ring of Honor issued the following:
Ring of Honor is ready for its biggest year yet in 2016 and the celebration of our 14th Anniversary! And this year we head back to LAS VEGAS! All of your favorite ROH stars will be there competing against some of the biggest stars from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Scores will be settled, feuds will culminate, and championships will be decided! Our next match announced for the 14th Anniversary is a TREMENDOUS tag team battle!
After a very successful 2015 in singles competition, #DemBoys JAY and MARK BRISCOE have their eyes set on one thing in 2016: their record-ninth ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! The Briscoes picked up the winning fall in a huge eight-man tag in Indianapolis and a tag-team brawl against “The LAST REAL MAN” SILAS YOUNG and BEER CITY BRUISER!
Their next challenge en route to number nine? The dream team of former ROH World Champion “UNBREAKABLE” MICHAEL ELGIN and a record seven-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion HIROSHI TANAHASHI!
Elgin and Tanahashi formed a formidable duo in the Tag League Tournament, wracking up a winning record in their first time teaming together! With instant chemistry, Elgin and Tanahashi have proven they are not only great singles competitors but also a world-class tag team!
After a recent three-way match, the challenge was issue and NIGEL McGUINNESS signed the bout immediately! Fans who saw the challenge issued live in Concord, NC have been salivating ever since and now we will see this TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH at the 14th Anniversary!
Recently while competing in Japan Tanahashi suffered a shoulder injury. At this time Tanahashi is still scheduled to team with Michael Elgin against the Briscoes. If something should change we will update you here first at ROHWRESTLING.com
