During NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, Tama Tonga beat Shingo Takagi, securing his fourth NEVER Openweight Championship.
At the post-show press conference, Tonga revealed that January marks his final month with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Tonga said he wanted to work closer to his family before talking highly about Japan, NJPW, and its talented roster.
This is Tama Tonga’s last month with #njpw
He wants to find work closer to home as he misses his family and leaving them at home is not something he wants to continue to do (as this was his childhood)
He loves Japan, this company and every wrestler #njwk18 pic.twitter.com/K5zM30oq2R
