New Japan Road Results (9/6 & 9/9) Full Card For IWGP Jr. Tag Tournament Finals
New Japan Pro-Wrestling will crown new IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions on Friday. After Roppongi 3K vacated the titles at the end of August, NJPW announced that a two night round robin tournament would crown new champions. Suzuki-gun’s El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru will clash with LIJ’s Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI in the finals of the tournament.
Takahashi & BUSHI have never beaten Desperado & Kanemaru in tag team title action, so a win for the Ingobernables juniors would mean big things for their growth as a team, but Desperado & Kanemaru are cunning and will do anything and everything to win the titles.
Plus the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Titles will be defended. The show is set to air at 5:30am ET.
