NJPW World Tag League 2017 Winners

Today, EVIL and SANADA won the 2017 World Tag League, winning a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles at WrestleKingdom 12 at The Tokyo Dome on January 4th. There’s only one little problem with them winning: they are 2/3 of the current NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions.

Well, NJPW has a solution for that problem. On the Road To The Dome show on December 17th in Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, BUSHI, EVIL, and SANADA will put their 6-man titles on the line against Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa. And, there’s a good chance that the Bullet Club will walk out of Korakuen the new champions.

WrestleKingdom 12 Presser

About an hour ago, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho had a mini-pres conference for their upcoming match at WrestleKingdom 12. To say things got intense and ugly is putting it mildly. There were reporters tossed around, furniture thrown around, and general mayhem. You can see the whole presser for yourself in the video below.

Hiroshi Tanahashi Injured

It looks like Hiroshi Tanahashi suffered an injury during Sunday’s Ring Of Honor television tapings, and no, he didn’t sprain his ponytail. ROH doctors at the arena checked him out, and it looks like a biceps injury, hopefully not a tear (and if it is, hopefully not a full one). Tana is scheduled to face Tetsuya Naito at Dominion on June 11th for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. Last year, Tana had to pull out of Dominion due to a shoulder injury.

Here’s hoping for a speedy and full recovery for Tana, whatever the actual injury is.

Honma & Shibata Injury Updates

As we all know, Tomoaki Honma and Katsuyori Shibata suffered serious, career threatening injuries this year. Back in March, Honma suffered a neck injury that resulted in temporary paralysis after being hit with a hanging DDT from Jado at a house show. In the latest news, Honma has already started to train for a comeback to the ring.

As for Shibata, who suffered a subdural hemotoma during his IWGP Heavyweight Championship match at Sakura Genesis and underwent two separate surgeries to relieve the pressure on his brain, there is no timetable for his return. It is believed that Shibata will never be cleared by doctors to return to in-ring action.

Styles had been making an attempt to rehabilitate the injury in Japan, thinking that his injury was a day-to-day situation. Styles is now back home.

Because Styles is injured, all of his remaining matches in the New Japan World Tag League tournament will be forfeits. His partner in the tourney was fellow Bullet Club member Takahashi.

It’s unknown as to whether or not Styles will be able to work his match next week with Final Battle, or if Ring of Honor has a backup plan in order. Styles is also set to take on Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestle Kingdom 10.

New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) Star Okada Kazuchika was Backstage on Summerslam, also Shinsuke Nakamura and KUSHIDA were also at there. Jushin ‘Thunder’ liger, who participated in the NXT Takeover Brooklyn was also present.
