The A Block representatives in the World Tag League 2025 semifinals were determined on Monday with Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHi and Yota Tsuji & Gabe Kidd advancing out of block action.

Entering the last night of A Block matches, there was a logjam at the top of the standings with four teams tied with eight points. Goto & YOSHI-HASHI and Tsuji & Kidd emerged as the only teams to reach the 10-point mark. Because they defeated Tsuji & Kidd earlier in the tournament, Goto & YOSHI-HASHI earned first place in the block while Tsuji & Kidd are the second-place finishers.

Here are the quick results from today:

  • A Block: Hirooki Goto & YOSHI-HASHI defeated Shingo Takagi & Drilla Moloney
  • A Block: Toru Yano & Oleg Boltin defeated EVIL & Don Fale
  • A Block: Yota Tsuji & Gabe Kidd defeated Taichi & Satoshi Kojima

After B Block has its final night tomorrow, the semifinals will take place this Wednesday (December 10) and Friday (December 12). The finals will then be held on Sunday (December 14). Goto & YOSHI-HASHI will face the second-place team from B Block, and Tsuji & Kidd will meet the B Block winners.

The winning team will be in line to challenge for the IWGP Tag Team titles, which are currently held by OSKAR & Yuto-Ice.
