After an incredible career filled with achievements, Tenzan has decided to hang up his wrestling boots. In a recent press conference, the legend revealed that he would wrestle in his final match during the G1 Climax semifinals at the Sumo Hall on August 15, 2026.

NJPW Global’s official X/Twitter handle recently posted about Hiroyoshi Tenzan’s retirement. The company also revealed that a full report of the press conference will come out soon.

“BREAKING Hiroyoshi Tenzan announces retirement [on] August 15 in Ryogoku. Full report to follow #njpw,” the post read.

Another Japanese legend could announce their retirement in WWE

Similar to Hiroyoshi Tenzan, another Japanese legend could be retiring in WWE in 2026. It is none other than Asuka.

The Empress of Tomorrow had been in a heated feud with IYO SKY for several months. They finally locked horns in a singles match at the Backlash Premium Live Event. Both stars put on an incredible performance inside the squared circle, and for the most part, it was a back-and-forth affair. However, the bout ultimately ended in The Genius of the Sky’s favor.

After the match, Asuka broke her on-screen character to hug her former Damage CTRL teammate. She also burst into tears while sharing this wholesome moment with SKY. Since then, many reports have suggested that this was the Japanese legend’s final match in WWE, and she could soon make her retirement official.

It remains to be seen what The Empress of Tomorrow has planned for her future in the professional wrestling world.
