Tanahashi suffered the rib injury during a triple threat match for the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Titles. Tanahashi teamed with Kazuchika Okada as they faced Aussie Open and then champions Motor City Machine Guns. Aussie Open, Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher were victorious in that match to become the new champions.
NJPW has indicated they have updated their match listings for the Road to Wrestling Dontaku Tour.
