The atmosphere was electric as Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI entered to the delight of the crowd, but El Phantasmo and Hikuleo took it a step further by appearing as Santa Jado’s assistants and handing out presents to the attendees.
Hikuleo wasted no time in delivering a strong message to Bishamon, stating, “GoD is here to bring Christmas joy to Kumamoto. Bishamon is a very, very good tag team, one of the best ever. But tomorrow, it ends. It’s time for a new generation in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.” El Phantasmo echoed this sentiment, highlighting Hikuleo’s accomplishments and emphasizing that he is not to be underestimated.
El Phantasmo also shared his own struggles during the World Tag League, mentioning the grueling schedule and the toll it has taken on his body. However, he expressed gratitude for having friends and family by his side, and vowed to show his fighting spirit in the final.
The confident Guerrillas of Destiny made their intentions clear, with El Phantasmo declaring, “Tomorrow, GoD will win World Tag League, and then in three weeks, GoD will walk into the Tokyo Dome at Wrestle Kingdom and we will do the threepeat by beating you guys three times in a row, and the GoD will become the 100th IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.” Jado added a playful “Ho ho ho” to conclude their remarks.
In response, YOSHI-HASHI acknowledged the difficult schedule and the toll it has taken on their bodies. However, he expressed confidence in the bond he shares with his partner and vowed to deliver their best performance in the final. Hirooki Goto echoed this sentiment, expressing his gratitude for his partner and affirming their determination to secure a third consecutive victory in the World Tag League.
