NJPW reveals teams for Super Junior Tag League 2024
With the tournament set to begin next week, NJPW has revealed the teams for Super Junior Tag League 2024.
Super Junior Tag League action will take place across eight shows from October 24 through November 2. The finals will then be held at NJPW Power Struggle on Monday, November 4. The tournament field consists of 12 teams with six in A Block and six in B Block:
A Block —
- Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney
- SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru
- Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita
- Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI
- Ryusuke Taguchi & Dragon Dia
- Tiger Mask & Capitan Suicida
B Block —
- KUSHIDA & Kevin Knight
- TJP & Francesco Akira
- YOH & Rocky Romero
- The DKC & Ninja Mack
- Taiji Ishimori and a mystery partner (will be revealed at NJPW Royal Quest this Sunday)
- Paris De Silva & Jude London
KUSHIDA & Knight are now the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champions after dethroning Connors & Moloney at King of Pro Wrestling. If KUSHIDA & Knight don’t win Super Junior Tag League, the winning team should receive a shot at their titles.
The Australian team of De Silva & London — known as The Velocities — are making their official NJPW debut in this tournament after having previously competed on the NJPW Tamashii in Oceania.
TJP & Akira were last year’s Super Junior Tag League winners.
