Earlier in the month, Tajiri made his NXT debut at the NXT Special, which was held in Osaka, Japan. He teamed up with Akira Tozawa, in a losing effort against NXT Tag Team Champions DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano).
Tajiri, first signed with WWE, back in 2001. After a four-year stint at the company, he moved to the Indy circuit. Even though he made sporadic appearances in ECW between 2006-2008, nothing materialised between him and the company, and he went back to Japan to continue his wrestling journey.
