Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oiwa maintained their perfect record in the World Tag League on Tuesday in the tournament’s return to Fukushima.
The TMDK duo joined David Finlay and Hiromu Takahashi at the top of the B Block standings following the fourth night of competition.
In the main event, Sabre and Oiwa defeated Shota Umino and Yuya Uemura. The match heavily featured interactions between Sabre and Umino, previewing their upcoming IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 19. The finish saw Oiwa hit Umino with The Grip lariat, allowing Sabre to secure the pinfall.
Following the match, Sabre christened their team “The Chin and The Mullet.”
David Finlay and Hiromu Takahashi also improved to 2-0 with a victory over Hiroshi Tanahashi and El Phantasmo. Takahashi taunted Tanahashi during the match by attempting a Rainmaker clothesline, mocking Tanahashi’s upcoming Tokyo Dome opponent Kazuchika Okada. The sequence ended with Finlay pinning Phantasmo while Takahashi neutralized Tanahashi on the floor.
Ren Narita and SANADA used typical House of Torture tactics to defeat the IWGP Tag Team Champions, The Knockout Brothers. After a chaotic sequence involving a whiskey mist from Yoshinobu Kanemaru and a guitar shot from SANADA, Narita struck Yuto Nakashima with his push-up bar and executed Hell’s Guillotine for the win.
In the opening tournament match, Great-O-Khan and Callum Newman defeated Lance Archer and Alex Zayne. Jakob Austin Young interfered from ringside, tripping Zayne to set up a diving double foot stomp by Newman.
