Tajiri Announces WWE Return for 2017

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri announced on Twitter that he will be returning to the company this coming spring, perhaps for the WWE NXT brand.

Tajiri wrestled at Saturday’s NXT live event in Japan, teaming with Akira Tozawa to lose to NXT Tag Team Champions Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. He also competed in the Cruiserweight Classic earlier this year.

Below is Tajiri’s tweet announcing his return:

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！！
