It seems that the roads of KENTA and Hiroshi Tanahashi have not separated yet, because NJPW's Ace will regain the title of IWGP American Heavyweight Championship.
In today's World Doubles League and the Best of the Super Junior finals, Tianqiao, together with him, Ten Kouji, and Nagata Yuji, participated in an eight-man doubles match and defeated the Bullet Club. After Tanahashi won the live ball victory against Chase Owens, KENTA appeared on the big screen and provided him with video information.

KENTA stated that he really does not want to wrestle with Tanahashi, but if he insists and allows him to set the conditions of the match, he will accept the challenge-provided that the match will be conducted under No DQ rules. This will be KENTA's revenge against Tanahashi because he passed a table in the US Championship at Power Struggle on November 6.
Tianqiao took the microphone and agreed to KENTA's terms. The date of the game has not yet been determined.
Tanahashi defeated Lance Archer at the NJPW Resurgence in August and won the IWGP American Championship. Since then, he successfully defended Kota Ibushi in the Wrestling Grand Slam in September and lost to KENTA in November.
KENTA's road to the championship began with the New Japan Cup in August 2020 in the United States Championship. He defeated Carl Fredericks, Jeff Cobb and David Finlay to win the championship. In last year's power struggle, he defended Tianqiao's right to challenge. Then he defended Kojima again in Wrestling Kingdom 15. On New Beginning USA, he failed to challenge the then champion Jon Moxley. In the end, he defeated Tianqiao in this year's power struggle and achieved his goal.
