NJPW World Tag League 2022 Results: Aussie Open [14] Defeat Great-O-Khan & Aaron Henare [6] (12/05)

Since the opening night of World Tag League, the spokesman of United Empire has promised that both Aussie Open and the duo of Great-O-Khan & Aaron Henare would meet in the finals. Aussie Open have been able to hold up their part of the bargain, coming into tonight as the block leaders with 12 points. Henare & Great-O-Khan have had less success, and tonight they must win if they want a chance to make it to the finals. It’s a United Empire derby, and only one can win. Do Henare & O-Khan purposely take the fall to ensure Aussie Open makes the finals, or do they fight for a chance at glory?

United Empire Clashes In First Time Ever Tag Team Match

O-Khan & Davis would start this match with some heavy shoulder tackles and forearm smashes, instantly letting us know that no one is laying down in this match. As they hit the ropes, Henare & Fletcher pulled them to the floor and took their places in the ring with a flurry of strikes. This would turn into a four way brawl, with Aussie Open winning out as they’d ran Henare & O-Khan into each other with spinebusters.

O-Khan would look to apply the Sheep Killer on Fletcher, with Davis attempting to make the save but being shoved from the ring. Sheep Killer would be applied, as Henare grabbed a knee bar – with Fletcher flailing to get the bottom rope and free himself. Henare would get the tag and hit a stiff kick to the spine, before keeping the pressure on with a stiff forearm smash.

Fletcher was able to send Henare into the corner, only to be met with the springboard roundhouse kick. Davis got the tag and would be able to run down both Henare & O-Khan with a double lariat. Henare was forced into the corner for some chops with lariats quickly following. Fletcher would trip Henare up, allowing for a sliding forearm smash from Davis.

Henare would be able to survive before taking a spinebuster for a near fall – with O-Khan making the crucial save. O-Khan would be able to catch Davis & Fletcher with judo takedowns – before heading to the corner and awaiting a tag.
