TAKA Michinoku Returning To NJPW For World Tag League 2021

Former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion TAKA Michinoku is set to return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling later this month.

NJPW announced the lineup for the upcoming World Tag League 2021 today and Michinoku will return to the promotion and reunite with fellow Suzuki-gun faction-mate Minoru Suzuki for the tournament.

Michinoku hasn't wrestled in New Japan since Best Of The Super Juniors 26 in 2019. He departed NJPW soon after the tournament to establish his own promotion and dojo, Just Tap Out.

All eyes will be on TAKA and Suzuki's match against fellow Suzuki-gun faction-mates Dangerous Tekkers as Michinoku will clash with his former protege, Zack Sabre Jr.

• Guerrillas Of Destiny
• Dangerous Tekkers - IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions
• Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma
