NJPW has confirmed that both Bushi and Tetsuya Naito are leaving the company.
“In recent weeks, conversations have been ongoing between New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Tetsuya Naito regarding Naito’s future wrestling activities. As a result of those conversations, both parties have mutually agreed not to renew Naito’s contract with NJPW,” stated the promotion.
His appearance on May 4th during the Dontaku tour will be his last.
“Both parties have arrived at this decision after careful consideration and lengthy conversation. Naito’s contract ends on the best possible terms with NJPW, which joins fans in wishing Naito’s further success in any and all future endeavours,” continued NJPW.
As far as Bushi’s status, he asked to leave the company and NJPW has come to terms with him. He will also be leaving on the same date as Naito.
