38 Wrestlers Who Died In 2025

9. Taishin Nagao (7 September)

All Japan Pro Wrestling's Taishin Nagao passed away on 7 September, the promotion announced, after he was tragically struck by a company tour bus earlier this year. He was just 21 years old.

Nagao, a promising prospect emerging from the AJPW Dojo, was still in the Young Boy phase of his pro wrestling journey, and had only debuted in October 2024, a wretched seven months before the accident which would ultimately take his life.
