Finals set for NJPW Super Junior Tag League
The finals are set in the 2025 Best of the Super Jr. Tag League.
The last night of round-robin action took place on Saturday in Osaka. Taiji Ishimori and Robbie X defeated Kosei Fujita and Robbie Eagles in the main event to punch their ticket to the finals, with Ishimori getting the pin on Eagles after a Bloody Cross. Ishimori and X finished the tournament with a 4-1 record and eight points, advancing on a tie-breaker over their opponents from Saturday atop B Block.
Following the main event, X and Ishimori were attacked by A Block winners DOUKI & SHO, but the War Dogs team were able to fend them off.
Ishimori and X got some needed help in the semi-main event when El Desperado and KUUKAI beat KUSHIDA and Yuki Yoshioka, which meant the main event was effectively the group decider.
In the first round-robin match of the night, YAMATO & Tiger Mask picked up their first win of the tournament and ensured they wouldn’t finish last in the group by defeating House of Torture’s Dick Togo and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
