NJPW News: Storyline Update On Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Lineup For NJPW Strong Tomorrow Night

– It was reported yesterday that The Empire attacked Hiroyoshi Tenzan at NJPW New Year Dash, spiking him with the Tenzan Tombstone Driver. As a result, he had to be stretchered out. NJPW has posted a storyline update on his condition.

They wrote: “On January 6’s New Year Dash event, Hiroyoshi Tenzan was stretchered away from the ring following an attack from Great-O-Khan. Tenzan was examined by doctors and treated for a neck injury. Tenzan’s injury is not thought to be serious, and he will make a full recovery. Tenzan will undergo another thorough evaluation before he is cleared for further action. We wish him the best in his recovery.”
