NJPW World Tag League night eleven results, updated standings

The 2024 NJPW World Tag League continued on Monday with a show in Kochi.

Three teams are tied atop A Block with just one night left in round-robin action. Of the tied teams, only Bishamon control their own destiny. They advance to the tournament finals if they defeat the War Dogs in their final round-robin on Thursday. If the War Dogs win that match, they need Yota Tsuji & Shingo Takagi to lose to Shota Umino and Tomoaki Honma. If the War Dogs and Takagi & Tsuji win their final matches, Takagi & Tsuji advance. 

Umino was back in action on the show after missing a non-tournament match on Sunday due to an ankle injury. However, KENTA and Owens attacked him and Honma during their ring entrance. Owens then hit Umino in the ankle with a chairshot. After that, Homma got little help from his partner and was double-teamed by Owens and KENTA before Owens eventually pinned him with a package piledriver. So, Umino returned, but he didn’t do much. 

Gabe Kidd & SANADA beat Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi in today’s second tournament match, mathematically eliminating the Funky Sauce team from advancing.

Bishamon picked up a big win in the semi-main event on their quest to win a fourth consecutive tournament. They defeated Jeff Cobb and Callum Newman, dropping their record to 3-3 and mathematically eliminating them from competition.

By the time the main event hit the ring, Zack Sabre Jr. and Ryohei Oiwa had been mathematically eliminated. Shingo Takagi and Yota Tsuji needed a win to stay in the hunt and that’s exactly what they got when Tsuji pinned Oiwa after a Pumping Blaster.

A Block action concludes on Thursday.
