Hiroshi Tanahashi Gets Pansted, Defeats Danshoku Dieno At DDT Wrestle Peter Pan Night Two

Hiroshi Tanahashi may have got pansted, but he still would score a victory in DDT.

The NJPW president is currently winding down is professional wrestling career, recently competing in his final match in the United Kingdom as part of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Now he is back in Japan, and competed at DDT Wrestle Peter Man night two on Sunday.

Tanahashi would face off with Danshoku Dieno in the bout, and would be pantsed during the course of the match. However, this would not hamper Tanahashi who would still come away with the victory at the end of the bout, hitting his High Fly Flow splash finish for the victory.
