At Wrestling Dontaku 2022, Tama won the NEVER Openweight Title by beating Bullet Club member EVIL. After the match, he was assaulted by former stablemate Karl Anderson, who made his return to Japan alongside Doc Gallows.
Juice Robinson defeated Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in a four-way match to win the IWGP US Heavyweight Title
In the main event of Capital Collision, Juice Robinson competed in a thrilling four-way match against Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The four competitors took each other to the limit, with Robinson eventually pinning The Commonwealth Kingpin to become the new champion.
Heading into the match, Tanahashi was the champion. He had beaten Tomohiro Ishii for the vacant belt. After the match, The Ace was attacked by the returning Robinson.
Before his return, the NJPW star also teased the idea of possibly retiring from the business. But that wasn't the case, and in an interview with njpw1972.com, he cleared the air.
"Not that I owe anyone any explanation, but I was never going to retire. That was just me lying to a bunch of gullible idiots. People believe that if they read something on the internet it has to be true. So all I had to say is make sure it landed on the internet, and everybody believed it, hook line and sinker," Robinson said.
'I was never going to retire. That was just me lying to a bunch of gullible idiots.'
