NJPW crowns Super Junior Tag League winner

Posted on by Ian Carey

SHO and DOUKI have won the Super Junior Tag League.

The House of Torture team defeated Robbie X and Taiji Ishimori in the finals of the tournament on Sunday at Hiroshi Tanahashi Final Homecoming in Gifu. The finish saw DOUKI spray red mist in Ishimori’s face, hit a low blow, and roll him up with a handful of trunks for the pin.

NJPW wrote on X (translated):

“From an intense battle to the worst possible outcome…! DOUKI & SHO snatch the undefeated championship with ruthless fighting! And DOUKI declares himself the “strongest in Jr.”!”

DOUKI and SHO went a perfect 6-0 in the tournament and are the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. It wasn’t immediately clear who their next challengers would be, but they were confronted backstage afterward by Kosei Fujita.

“You guys are trash who can’t even fight without toys, right? Ain’t that the truth?” Fujita said to DOUKI and SHO.

“We’ve already beaten you guys back in September. Not interested. Hey, bring something and try standing in front of me,” DOUKI responded.

SHO & DOUKI successfully defended their titles against Fujita and Robbie Eagles last month on the Road to Destruction tour. Eagles and Fujita were the winners of the 2024 Super Junior Tag League.

This is SHO’s third time winning the Super Junior Tag League, after having also done so in 2018 and 2019 with YOH.

First team advances to NJPW Super Junior Tag League 2025 finals

DOUKI & SHO have booked their spot in the NJPW Super Junior Tag League 2025 finals.

A matchup of undefeated teams headlined night seven of Super Junior Tag League on Thursday. It was DOUKI & SHO who were able to maintain their perfect record, defeating YOH & Master Wato for the right to represent A Block in the November 2 tournament final.

Here are the full results from Thursday:

  • A Block: DOUKI & SHO defeated YOH & Master Wato
  • A Block: Ryusuke Taguchi & Dragon Dia defeated Hiromu Takahashi & Gedo
  • A Block: Templario & Jakob Austin Young defeated Clark Connors & Daiki Nagai
  • Taiji Ishimori, Robbie X & OSKAR defeated Robbie Eagles, Kosei Fujita & Hartley Jackson
  • KUSHIDA, Yuki Yoshioka & Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated El Desperado, KUUKAI & Katsuya Murashima
  • Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Dick Togo & Yujiro Takahashi defeated Tiger Mask, YAMATO & Shoma Kato
  • Oleg Boltin & Masatora Yasuda defeated Tatsuya Matsumoto & Zane Jay

The last B Block show of the tournament takes place on Saturday leading into Sunday’s finals. Three teams are still alive in B Block, with Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita having the clearest path to the finals with a win or draw against Taiji Ishimori & Robbie X. A victory would put Ishimori & Robbie X in position to advance — but the possibility of a three-way tie still exists if KUSHIDA & Yuki Yoshioka were to also win their last match.

DOUKI & SHO are the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. If they lose in the finals, the winning team should earn a shot at their belts.

The Super Junior Tag League continued on Sunday with a show from Uonuma, Niigata.

Three matches took place in B Block, with each team in the group now having two round-robin matches left.

The only two undefeated teams in the group faced off in the main event, with the Ichiban Sweet Boys (Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita) improving to 3-0 after hitting The Interceptor on KUSHIDA for a three count. Eagles and Fujita’s final matches are against the winless Tiger Mask and YAMATO and on the final night against Taiji Ishimori and Robbie X.

Ishimori and Robbie X beat Tiger Mask & YAMATO to improve their record to 2-1 and drop their opponents down to 0-3 on Sunday. Robbie X got the pin on Tiger Mask after the X XPress.

Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Dick Togo used typical House of Torture tactics to get the win over KUUKAI and El Desperado, throwing powder in the eyes of KUUKAI and Kanemaru securing the win with the Samson Clutch.

For the second straight year, TJP & Francesco Akira are headed to the NJPW Super Junior Tag League finals.

The tournament finals will be A Block winners Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita vs. B Block winners TJP & Akira. That was confirmed today with TJP & Akira advancing out of their block. The finals are being held at NJPW Power Struggle this Monday.

Going into the last day of B Block action on Saturday, there was a logjam in the standings with all six teams tied at four points.
