In the NJPW Super Junior Tag League Tournament, Lio Rush & YOH and Ace Austin & Chris Bey of BULLET CLUB were the two remaining teams.
To determine the winners of the tournament’s 2022 edition, the two teams competed.
Lio and YOH ultimately won, and as a result, they will now go to the Tokyo Dome on January 4 to challenge TJP and Francesco Akira for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.
Rush will be making his Wrestle Kingdom debut at this event. YOH competed in a trios match for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Titles at this year’s Wrestle Kingdom.
