The former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is gearing up for a return. 

Since late April, SANADA has been sidelined from in-ring action due to health-related matters. NJPW posted an update and noted that he underwent a medical evaluation at a Tokyo hospital. 

Coming out of it, it was decided that SANADA is medically cleared to compete. He’ll be working towards an in-ring return in the near future. 

SANADA, who has been absent from matches since April 27 in Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall due to a health concern, has undergone evaluation at a Tokyo hospital and deemed medically cleared. SANADA will be working toward a return to the ring in the near future.

SANADA and New Japan Pro-Wrestling appreciates fans’ support and understanding.

He’s a member of Just 5 Guys with Taichi, DOUKI, TAKA Michinoku and Yuya Uemura. SANADA’s reign as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion came to an end at Wrestle Kingdom 18.
