Atsuki Aoyagi, one half of the Asian Tag Team Champions, suffered an injury to his knee that will see him out of action for most of the coming year. As a result, his tag team partner, Rising Hayato, has officially announced that the team will be relinquishing their titles.

Earlier today, Aoyagi sent a message saying that he had to miss out on the Jr Heavyweight Festival for All Japan Pro Wrestling thanks to an ACL injury that he had suffered. He thanked Mochizuki Naruhiro for stepping up in his place despite the situation being at the last minute. The wrestler also apologized to Hayato for their situation with the tag team titles.

“I had to miss out on #ジュニフェス due to a left knee ACL injury. I’m so sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing Aoyagi Ryosei. Thank you so much to Mochizuki Naruhiro for stepping in on such short notice 🙇‍♂️ HAYATOさん, sorry about the Asia Tag 🙇‍♂️ A request to everyone! Please have an absolute blast at #ジュニフェス！！！！！！”

Soon after this, on AJPW’s official channel, in a video, Rising Hayato announced that they were officially giving up the titles. An ACL injury can take anywhere between 6 months and a year to recover from, so it may be a long time before fans see Aoyagi again.

The star also replied to his tag team partner, saying that it was totally fine, and that when Aoyagi recovered, they could go after the tag team titles again to win them all over again.

We at Sportskeeda Wrestling wish Atsuki Aoyagi a swift recovery and a return to the ring.
