Former WWE Star Making A Full-Time Return To The Company

Tajiri announced on Twitter that he will be returning to WWE early next year after completing his commitments in Japan this month.

At Saturday’s NXT live event in Osaka, Japan, Tajiri teamed with Akira Tozawa in a losing effort to NXT Tag Team Champions Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. He was also a part of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic.

昨日のNXT大阪公演でリーガルGMから「明日から公表してもいいですよ」とのOKを頂きましたので公表させていただきます。来春年明け早々よりWWEに戻ります。12/27金村引退興行を日本での最後の試合とし、鍼灸活動も日本では今月で終わります。皆さま、10年間ありがとうございました！！

Here is a translation of his tweet:

I gave you OK because I got OK from Regal GM yesterday ‘s NXT Osaka performance “I can announce it from tomorrow”. I will return to WWE early next year. 12/27 Kanemura Retirement box office will be the last game in Japan, and acupuncture activity will end in Japan this month. Thank you very much, everyone for 10 years! It is!
