At a press conference today, New Japan announced some bad news for Tetsuya Naito after his World Tag League win with Hiromu Takahashi: He’s headed to the sidelines again. Left eye surgery. Out the rest of the year but will compete at Tokyo Dome. That means he will miss the Road to Tokyo Dome tour (5 events, only the last 2 televised). He was not on the card for STRONG STYLE EVOLVED this coming weekend in the US. This actually happened last year too before Naito won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on 1/4. His match with Hiromu Takahashi this year will be the 8th match of 9 on the card.
