NJPW World Tag League night eight results, updated standings
World Tag League 2023 continued on Wednesday with a show from Shizuoka.
Lance Archer and Alex Zayne currently sit atop the group with a perfect 4-0 record. They defeated Taichi & Yuya Uemura on today’s show, who went into the match undefeated but now drop to a record of 3-1.
The main event of Wednesday’s show was a time-limit draw between Bishamon and the team of Soberano Jr. and Atlantis Jr.
To the best of my knowledge the first time limit draw in the modern World Tag League. 2014 saw a double ring out with Suzuki/Iizuka vs Yano/Sakuraba.
Last time limit draw in a tag tiurney was G1 Tag 2008 I think, Hirasawa and Nagata vs Nakanishi and Yoshie #njwtl— chris charlton (@reasonjp) November 29, 2023
The Gates of Agony also accepted an offer to join House of Torture on Wednesday. The timing of the alliance is interesting, as they’ll wrestle Yujiro Takahashi & EVIL on Friday.
