World Tag League night 6 (November 26) Preview​

B Block back in action

Night six of World Tag League sees B Block back in action in Fukushima on November 26. As we approach the midway point in the league, who will assert dominance in the block?

Watch live in English on NJPW World!
​

Main event: United Empire (HENARE & Great-O-Khan) (1–1) vs HOUSE OF TORTURE (EVIL & Ren Narita)(2–0)​

Our main event sees IWGP Tag Team Champions HENARE and Great-O-Khan take on EVIL and Ren Narita of HOUSE OF TORTURE. After another win stolen over TAKA Michinoku and Taichi in Fujisawa, H.O.T are in an undeserving number one spot in B Block. Can the IWGP Tag Team Champions put them in their place?
​

7th Match: Los Ingobernables De Japon (Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito) (1–1) vs TAKATaichi (TAKA Michinoku & Taichi) (1–1)​

The Semi main event will see the LIJ side of Naito and Hiromu face TAKATaichi in a bid to get to four points. Tetsuya Naito and Taichi’s history is long and well documented, stretching to Naito’s early career, and again as Taichi transitioned to heavyweight and on at important points for both men’s careers since. Their latest meeting sees both teams at two points and looking to put themselves ahead of that pile.
​

6th Match: Jado & Hiroshi Tanahashi (0–2) vs TMDK (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls) (1–1)​

Hiroshi Tanahashi and Jado have had a rough time of things so far in World Tag League, with losses to the Natural Classics and United Empire. While still in the hunt, a third loss will put them on the bubble and at threat of mathematical elimination.

TMDK bounced back from an opening loss to recover to 1–1, and well remember their victory over Tanahashi and Tomkohiro Ishii back at Royal Quest. Will they repeat that feat to move ahead and put Jado and the Ace in danger?
​

5th Match: Boltin Oleg & Toru Yano (1–1) vs Natural Classics (Tome Filip & Stevie Filip) (1–1)​

A massive upset in the main event in Fujisawa Sunday saw the perfect illustration of how effective Boltin Oleg and Toru Yano’s brains and brawn combination can be. Boltin hurled Hiromu Takahashi into Tetsuya Naito while Yano rolled both men up to get his team on the board and with a massive confidence booster of a win. Now they’ll look to continue their forward momentum, but against the well oiled brother tag team that the Natural Classics are, they have to be the underdogs once more.
​

4th Match: Los Ingobernables De Japon (BUSHI, Yota Tsuji & Shingo Takagi) vs BULLET CLUB (Taiji Ishimori, Chase Owens & KENTA)​

After a wild Korakuen Hall main event with the War Dogs, Shingo Takagi and Yota Tsuji have to shift their footage to the original arm of BULLET CLUB tonight. This trios preview is a tough one for both sides, but as ach feels the pressure to get two more points Wednesday, it’s key to set the pace.
​

3rd Match: United Empire (Jakob Austin Young, Callum Newman & Jeff Cobb) vs War Dogs (Gedo, Gabe Kidd & SANADA)​

There’s sure to be a lot of heavy impacts when Jeff Cobb and Callum Newman meet SANADA and Gabe Kidd Wednesday in Miyagi. It’s sure to be a wild battle as a preview here in Fukushima.
​

2nd Match: Shoma Kato, YOSHI-HASHI & Hirooki Goto vs TMDK (Kosei Fujita, Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa)​

Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oiwa will be tested by the threepeat World Tag League winners Bishamon in the second bout of the night, while Kosei Fujita will enjoy testing the mettle of tonight’s Young Lion partner for Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI- Shoma Kato.
​

1st Match: Tiger Mask, Tomoaki Honma & Shota Umino vs Katsuya Murashima, Ryusuke Taguchi & Alex Zayne​

It’s a very Hontai themed opening contest tonight, as Shota Umino and Tomoaki Honma get ready for Ryusuke Taguchi and Alex Zayne. As Katsuya Murashima seeks a pratical education from some very strange partners, this is going to be an intriguing combination to watch.
​

Kickoff Match: Masatora Yasuda (0–1–2 this tour) vs Daiki Nagai (0–2–2 this tour)​

Singles record 0–0–20

Masatora Yasuda and Daiki Nagai went to an incredible 20th time limit draw with one another Saturday in Fujisawa. Now over 200 minutes in ring with one another, might this 21st collision be the one that breaks the stalemate between the two?​

Man if I was New Japan for future Matches involving Young Lions don't put them out there in Singles Matches with each other every night. Maybe every other Show would be best rather than the two guys not knowing doing the same thing and not really anything different at all. I wonder who is telling them to do this and out or are they figuring it out on there own out there if so they need to stop.

 

[Apoho Creed]

The Tag Matches are suppose to get you readying for the World Tag League Matches for the Show but damn they have been often boring to terrible at times during this run so far for me.

 

[Chris]

I mean the whole tour is non stop house show antics lol the only teams really trying are like Bishamon. Even guys I'm enjoying like Kidd and Sanada are getting by more on their gimmick

 

[Apoho Creed]

Oh no Taichi and Naito are on opposite ends of the Ring. These two for some reason always love to mess with the other like it's a Sport.

Here we go Taichi taking Video of LIJ posing

Naito now taking video of Just 4 Guys I can't with these two

Taguchi/Zayne vs Sabre JR/Oiwa had legit my favorite Tag Match of the Tourney. Taguchi went through hella punishment to get Zayne in and once it got to the final stretch both were so good with each other.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Man Day 5 of the World Tag League has been amazing wow and the fans have been into everything. I thought Honma and Umino were dead to rights but they pulled it off what a battle. Shota crying in the Arms of Honma

Shota facing Sabre JR at Wrestle Kingdom is a battle that will effect him for Weeks after and now needing to face Claudio the next day is overkill.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Sanada biting people like Gabe Kidd this BC run for him just might work

 

[Apoho Creed]

Gabe goes through a Table!!

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah sure a guy who gets hit multiple times in his nuts somehow can get through that and get a win. One shot to the nuts if anyone has felt that like myself you ain't moving for a little bit or thinking either
