Originally published at Tetsuya Endo to make his in-ring return on July 24th

For the first time since 6/12, Tetsuya Endo is going to compete.

At DDT Pro-Wrestling’s July 3rd event, former KO-D Openweight Champion Tetsuya Endo appeared and shared that he’ll be returning to in-ring competition on July 24th.

Endo had been sidelined as he was recovering from a concussion. At the CyberFight Festival show on June 12, Endo got into a striking exchange with former GHC Heavyweight Champion Katsuhiko Nakajima. As a result of him suffering the concussion, he had to relinquish the KO-D Openweight Title.

When he spoke to the press after his appearance on 7/3, he said the following:

I couldn’t withstand Nakajima’s attack at the June 12th CyberFight Festival. Everything that happens in the ring is reality, so I will accept it and start a new journey on July 24th.
