Main event: WTL B Block- Bishamon (Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI) (3-2-1) vs Just Five Guys (Yuya Uemura & Taichi) (4-2)
Uemura and Taichi advance with a win, in first if GoD win and second if Monstersauce win
Bishamon take second with a win
It’s been a highly impressive debut World Tag League for Yuya Uemura and Taichi. While Uemura’s highly techncial style has seen him struggle in the face of large opposition like Lance Archer and Bad Luck Fale, seeing his side’s two losses this year, his growth in confidence under Taichi, highlighted by an impressive and emphatic win over Yuji Nagata, has seen both gel well to reach eight points.
Conversely, Bishamon had a rough go of things at the start of the tournament, and even mid way only had three points to their name. As has happened in the past when YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto have had their backs to the wall, they’ve fought through to just one point off the pace. One more victory would bring them one more step toward an unprecedented threepeat- will the well honed teamwork of the IWGP Champions be too much for the J5G opposition when the chips are down?
7th Match: WTL B Block- Guerrillas of Destiny (El Phantasmo & Hikuleo) (4-2) vs Monstersauce (Alex Zayne & Lance Archer) (4-2)
Monstersauce take first with a win
GoD advance with a win, in first if Bishamon win, and second if Uemura and Taichi win
Much like their IWGP counterparts, the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag team Champions had a patchy start to the tournament with two straight losses after an inti8ial victory over Bishamon on the opening night. Hikuleo and Phantasmo have rallied since, and entertained as well as excelled with a sense of fair play that had been unknown to ELP for years before he left BULLET CLUB. he and Hikuleo will have to get mean to advance though as the two face Lance Archer and Alex Zayne tonight. This rematch of a chaotic bout in Las Vegas back in October sees form go in favour of the champions, but Monstersauce have a point to prove, and want to end an impressive league run with one more win and a spot in the final four.
6th Match: WTL B Block- Zandokan Jr. & Yota Tsuji (3-3) vs Atlantis Jr. & Soberano Jr. (2-3-1)
Both teams are eliminated
Yota Tsuji and Zandokan Jr. headed into the World tag League having only teamed once before in CMLL, while Atlantis Jr. and Soberano Jr. were a relevos increibles tag, one that at home would be split down the tecnico and rudo divide. With that in mind, it’s little wonder that neither have made the final four, but in this final contest, they
