2026-01-04 WOL: Wrestle Kingdom Review, Tanahashi's Last Match!

Wrestle Kingdom 20 took place on Sunday in Tokyo, and it was Hiroshi Tanahashi's final match. I break down the card and talk about what's next for New Japan now that this chapter is closed. Also, the possible emergence of a new superstar in Aaron Wolf, who made his debut by winning the Never Openweight Title, and a new IWGP Champion in Yota Tsuji. I also discuss this week's SmackDown and prepare for the Monday Night Raw Netflix anniversary show, featuring CM Punk defending against Bron Breakker. Plus, thoughts on Collision, a preview of this week's AEW Dynamite, and more! Grab your Dave Meltzer year books Don't have access to this video? Sign up now!
