NJPW World Tag League 2025 night six results, updated standings
NJPW’s 2025 World Tag League continued on Saturday with a show in Aomori.
Four B Block matches took place on the show. After three rounds, five teams are tied atop the group with 2-1 records.
Monster Sauce’s Lance Archer and Alex Zayne improved to 2-1 in the opening tournament match, handing David Finlay and Hiromu Takahashi their first loss. Takahashi and Finlay continued to not work well together during the bout. This included Takahashi tagging out immediately and running away, evidently in fear of Archer.
The finish saw Finlay, as he’s done in recent matches, attempt to throw an unwilling Takahashi onto their opponents on the outside, but Archer and Zayne caught him, rolled him back into the ring, and hit Murder Sauce for the win.
Callum Newman and Great-O-Khan improved to 2-1 with a win over Yuya Uemura and Shota Umino (1-2) in the second tournament match of the night. United Empire member Jakob Austin Young again got some cheap shots in from the outside, but the finish was clean, as Newman pinned Umino after a double foot stomp.
The semi-main event saw House of Torture use their usual tactics to hand Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oiwa their first loss of the tournament. SANADA and Ren Narita improved to 2-1 after repeated interference led to Narita hitting the Hell’s Guillotine on Oiwa.
The main event saw two winless teams face off. The IWGP Tag Team Champions Yuto-Ice and OSKAR picked up their first win of the tournament, defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi and El Phantasmo, dropping them to 0-3. The finish saw Ice hit his Cruella running knee on Tanahashi.
Ice cut a promo after the match. While translations weren’t immediately available at commentary, he appeared to be paying respect to Tanahashi. He then yelled “Get hyped!” and “Biggup!” to close the show.
