Hiroshi Tanahashi successfully kept his career in-tact against EVIL at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 19. Scoring the win with a roll-up, Tanahashi was then beaten down by EVIL and the heel lumberjacks.

That was until Katsuyori Shibata came out to run them off. After that, though, Shibata grabbed a microphone and challenged Tanahashi to a match for Wrestle Dynasty.

Tanahashi took a moment to catch his breath, but accepted, and with that, the Wrestle Dynasty card expands to a full dozen matches.
