NJPW World Tag League & Super Junior Tag League 2022 Results: Lio Rush & YOH [6] Defeat DOUKI & Yoshinobu Kanemaru [0], TMDK [4] Defeat House Of Torture [0] (11/27)

Lio Rush & YOH have shown that they’re the Junior Heavyweight Tag Team that CHAOS was looking for, and coming into tonight at four points puts them in a good position to make the finals. DOUKI & Yoshinobu Kanemaru meanwhile have not had that same success – having lost their last three matches. Kanemaru is a legend of Junior Heavyweight wrestling, and DOUKI is a rising star – so it would likely just take a single victory to get them moving.

Lio Rush Overcomes Damage To Knee To Earn Two More Points

Kanemaru & DOUKI would attack before the bell, looking to get the upper hand. However, Rush & YOH would be able to dodge a lariat from DOUKI, dropping him with a series of kicks to the face. DOUKI & YOH would brawl out to the floor, while Kanemaru hit a basement dropkick and kneebreaker on Rush.

DOUKI would keep the pressure on the knee of Rush in the ring after a tag, hitting an elbow to the inside of the knee. Kanemaru would stomp away on Rush, before throwing him to the floor for a kneebreaker from DOUKI. A tag to YOH was delayed by Kanemaru, before an enziguri landed.

YOH would rush down Kanemaru with a flying forearm smash, before taking a basement dropkick. The Figure Four Leg Lock would be applied, with DOUKI taking Rush to the floor to ensure the hold isn’t broken up instantly. YOH would be able to fight free, tagging in Rush to deal with DOUKI.

Despite being a few steps slow with the damage to knee, Rush was able to work his way around DOUKI – sending him to the floor before a dive. Rush Hour Stunner was blocked before an enziguri and lariat from DOUKI. The DOUKI-CHOKEY would be applied in the middle of the ring, but YOH would stomp DOUKI to break the hold.

Daybreak DDT would follow, before Suplex De La Luna would be blocked by Rush. YOH would hit the jumping knee, before Kanemaru missed with the Whiskey Mist. DOUKI took the Rush Hour Stunner & Final Hour Splash – and this one was over. Not a great night for Suzuki-gun.

House of Torture Have All Hands On Deck Tonight

TMDK are looking to remind everyone that they used to be one of the top tag teams in Japan, and have been able to get off to a good start – having defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi & Toru Yano already. Tonight, they look to get another victory – and with them facing House of Torture’s EVIL & Yujiro Takahashi? It seems likely that TMDK will be able to move to four points, unless House of Torture intend to get their first win of either tournament.

Before TMDK made their way to the ring, SHO & Dick Togo would attack them from behind – looking to assist EVIL & Takahashi. Haste was taken into the ring by EVIL, and was able to drop EVIL with a snapmare and dropkick to the back of head. On the floor, Nicholls would be attacked by SHO & Takahashi, before Haste took a suplex on the entrance ramp.

Back in the ring, Takahashi would hit a snap leg drop, before a falling headbutt for a two count. Nicholls finally found his way to the apron, as Haste was able to strike Takahashi down. With blood running down his face, Nicholls would nail a snap DDT on Takahashi. EVIL got the tag, but Nicholls ran them both down with a lariat before taking a boot to the face from Takahashi.

Haste would try to make the save, but took a dropkick from Takahasshi. EVIL nailed the Fisherman Buster, but Nicholls was still able to kick out. TMDK would set up Thunder Valley on Takahashi, and House of Torture once again fails to get on the board.
