NJPW Super Junior Tag League Results: Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI [8] Defeat SAUCEHEARTS [12], Lio Rush & YOH [14] Defeat BUSHI & Titan [12] To Earn Spot In Finals (12/10)

SAUCEHEARTS have a chance to make the finals of Super Junior Tag League, but things need to work out a certain way for this to happen. The first half is in their control, needing to defeat Yoshinobu Kanemaru & DOUKI here tonight. They also will need YOH & Lio Rush to lose their upcoming match with BUSHI & Titan, a tall ask given how dominant the CHAOS duo has been. Add in that DOUKI & Kanemaru are on a hot streak – and their situation is dicey at best.

DOUKI Does The Unthinkable, Shuts SAUCEHEARTS Out From Finals

Kanemaru & DOUKI would attack before the bell, with DOUKI locking up with his recent rival in El Lindaman. DOUKI would manage to rake the eyes, before taking a dropkick for a one count. Lindaman would be sent out to the floor and hit with a DDT, before taking a neckbreaker in the ring for a two count.

Kanemaru would take some elbow smashes, before Zayne would get the tag. A stiff lariat dropped Kanemaru, before a kick to the back of the head on DOUKI. Front Flip kick would follow, before Zayne set up the Avalanche Hurricanrana for a two count. Baja Blast would be set up, but Kanemaru landed on his feet before following up with a dropkick.

Lindaman would get the tag alongside DOUKI, hitting a rushing back elbow and shotgun dropkick. A quick Judo style takedown followed by a DDT would follow, getting a two count. Kumigoroshi would be blocked, before DOUKI hit an enziguri – setting up a big boot from Kanemaru.

British Fall would be blocked into a brainbuster, allowing Lindaman to focus on DOUKI. A kick would be blocked, but Zayne springed over Lindaman to take DOUKI down before a Bridging German Suplex got a two count. DOUKI-CHOKEY would be applied, but Zayne helped Lindaman to freedom before taking a Satellite DDT from Kanemaru.

DOUKI would hit the Gory Special Kneecrusher before nailing a snap Suplex De La Luna for the shocking victory – taking SAUCEHEARTS out of the running for the finals… and perhaps earning another shot at the G-REX Championship.

A Spot In The Finals Awaits The Winner

YOH & Lio Rush have proven to be an incredible tag team over the past tour, one of the leading teams of the tournament. If they win tonight, they will advance to the finals – which is a fantastic change of pace for YOH, who went 0-5 and had his partner turn on him the last time NJPW held the Super Junior Tag League. All they need to do is defeat BUSHI & Titan, a team who has been on a hot streak. With SAUCEHEARTS losing – whoever wins here makes the finals on December 14th.

Rush would kick things off with BUSHI, quickly being cut down with some clubbing strikes, before Titan got the tag. Able to use his speed, Rush would duck a lariat and hit a Pele Kick to gain control of the match. A tag to YOH would follow, before a double back elbow and assisted splash on Titan for a two count.

YOH would be hit with an inverted suplex before a superkick landed. BUSHI would punish YOH with some heavy chops in the corner, before applying the STO. YOH would be able to find the bottom rope, before dropping BUSHI with a dropkick. He’d flip out of the way of Titan, before hitting a neckbreaker for a two count.

Lio Rush & YOH Make The Finals

Rush would find a tag, before hitting a wrecking ball dropkick to keep BUSHI down on the floor. A corkscrew kick to the head of Titan would follow, before Rush was able to fly. The Asai Moonsault landed flush, before Titan landed a superkick in the ring – only to walk into a Spanish Fly for a two count in the middle of the ring.

3K would be blocked as Titan instead hit a dropkick on Rush after being launched, before sending YOH to the floor and hitting a high speed dive over the top rope to both opponents. Back in the ring, Titan would hit the rushing lariat, before the Codebreaker. BUSHI held Rush in place, only for YOH to jump off his back to stop Titan from hitting the springboard double stomp.

Rush Hour stunner would follow for a two count, before a Falcon Hour almost set up The Final Hour. Titan would be able to disrupt, before being taken out on the floor. YOH nailed a superkick to BUSHI, before the Ushigoroshi into the Final Hour put CHAOS in the finals of Super Junior Tag League.
