After relinquishing his NEVER Openweight Title at the New Beginning in Nagoya show on January 20, speculation has been rife regarding the Bullet Club founding member’s future endeavors.
NJPW has now confirmed that Tonga will team up with Tanga Loa for a tag-team showdown against El Phantasmo & Hikuleo at the upcoming New Beginning in Sapporo show on February 24. This match is billed as Tonga’s farewell from NJPW, promising an emotional and action-packed encounter.

The match is set to feature a clash between the original Tongan brothers, the record-setting seven-time IWGP Tag Team Champions, and the new generation represented by Hikuleo and ELP. Although no titles are on the line, the significance of this encounter lies in the passing of a legendary torch as Tonga bids adieu to NJPW.
While Tonga’s future remains uncertain, with reports of ‘internal talk’ within WWE circulating as early as May 2023, speculation has intensified due to Tonga’s residency in Orlando, Florida, the location of WWE’s Performance Center.
As Tonga prepares to say goodbye to NJPW, wrestling fans eagerly await updates on his potential transition to WWE and the impact it could have on the global wrestling landscape.
