NJPW crowns Super Junior Tag League 2024 winners
This year’s Super Jr. Tag Team tournament winners have been crowned.
TMDK members Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita won this year’s tournament, defeating TJP and Francesco Akira to win for the first time. After a hot series of back-and-forth action, Eagles cradled TJP to score the win for his team.
After the match, TMDK cut a promo with Fujita saying they had proven themselves with this tournament win. They then called out the current IWGP Junior Tag Team champions, Kevin Knight and KUSHIDA, saying they had the right to challenge for Wrestle Kingdom 19. Knight and KUSHIDA accepted TMDK’s challenge but also wanted TJP and Akira in the title match.
A three-way was seemingly set for January 4 at the Tokyo Dome when Clark Connors and Drilla Moloney came out and took everyone out with steel chairs. They said they have dominated the division and expressed their own interest in the title match for Wrestle Kingdom.
Eagles and Fujita advanced to the finals after winning the A Block. Akira and TJP advanced to the finals over KUSHIDA and Knight in the B Block after securing the tiebreaker win by defeating the champions during the tournament.
