It was reported after the event that Takahashi had suffered a broken neck. It was a nasty moment in the night, but NJPW revealed recently that he had recently been brought back over to Japan.
Hiromu Takahashi updated the fans on his status earlier today, letting them know that he was okay.

It’s great to see him in such high spirits. While it hasn’t been revealed how bad the injury is, it’s been noted that the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion won’t need surgery.
