- Katsuyori Shibata was injured during his main event match with Kazuchika Okada at NJPW's Sakura Genesis on April 9th. During the match, Shibata hit Okada with a stiff headbutt, which caused Shibata to start bleeding from the forehead. Shibata was taken to the hospital after the match and was diagnosed with subdural hematoma. While he underwent successful surgery, it still looks likely that is going to be his final match.
According to @STRIGGA of Purolove.com, Shibata has updated his blog about where his health is currently at:
In his new blog entry Katsuyori Shibata says he currently receives treatment for his brain and right eye with a special treatment device.
