Whether it’s masked as part of Strange Love Connection or unmasked as Keigo Nakamura, Viente Maligno/Viento Levante/Nakamura just can’t catch a break in DDT. He planned to participate in Thursday’s Korakuen Hall event but after visiting a doctor for injury concerns that is now off and much more. Right knee (osteoarthritis and ruptured ACL). Out indefinitely. Levante/Nakamura commented and noted he will have surgery per the doctor’s recommendations so he’s likely out until sometime in 2027. He said he could have continued to compete but made the decision with his career in mind and wanting to be in perfect condition. He doesn’t know when he’ll be back but, in his words, he will be back.
