Tanahashi teased that he'd be doing something with ROH in a tweet on March 29, as he posted a picture in which he was at an airport, and he used AEW and ROH as hashtags.
Tanahashi made his AEW debut on the road to AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2022. He had a staredown with CM Punk and later teamed up with Jon Moxley to defeat Chris Jericho and Lance Archer on the June 22 episode of AEW Dynamite. He then lost to Jon Moxley in a match to crown the AEW Interim World Champion at Forbidden Door.
As previously announced, Tanahashi will face Mike Bailey at IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United on March 30.
