New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) has just announced an exciting matchup that has fans buzzing with excitement. The newly appointed President of NJPW, Hiroshi Tanahashi, is set to go head-to-head with the legendary former seven-time world champion, Kazuchika Okada. This epic singles match is scheduled to take place on February 11th at the New Beginning In Osaka event, which will be held at the EDION Arena.

The rivalry between Okada and Tanahashi is one for the history books, with their feud dating all the way back to 2012. Together, these two superstars have headlined three WrestleKingdom events, captivating audiences with their incredible in-ring chemistry and fierce competition.

What makes this upcoming match even more significant is the recent announcement that Okada will be parting ways with NJPW once his contract expires at the end of January.
