Pro Wrestling NOAH wraps up the NOAH Jr. Tag League today with the Finals. The top 2 after the preliminary round face off today and it’s the promotion’s lucha brothers running it back-after Alpha Wolf turned on brother Dragon Bane to defect to Team 2000X and take the GHC National Championship with him, they are on opposite sides once again and this time for the league victory. Wolf teamed with Kai Fujimura, who also turned heel and joined Yoshitatsu’s faction before the tournament, to finish first while Bane & partner Alejandro finished second. Besides the league victory, the winners will likely earn a GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match against champions Daga & Daiki Odashima in the future.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese & English. There are 8 matches planned but no title matches today, despite that with the main event being no time limit I anticipate this being on the longer side for a “normal” Korakuen event with a running time of about 3 hours.
Today’s lineup:
AMAKUSA & Black Menso-re vs. Eita & Katsumi Inagata
KENTA, HAYATA & Tetsiua Endo vs. Daga, Daiki Odashima & Midori Takahashi
BUSHI & Angel Reyes vs. Shuji Kondo & Yuto Koyanagi
OZAWA, Masa Kitamiya, Tadasuke & Jun Masaoka vs. Atsushi Kotoge, Mohammed Yone, Hi69 & Hajime Ohara
Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Galeno & Harutoki in a 3-way
Tetsuya Naito & RYUSEI vs. Manabu Soya & Hiroto Tsuruya
Yoshiki Inamura, Mark Trew & Kieron Lacey vs. Kenoh, Naomichi Marufuji & Shuihei Taniguchi

6:20 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your Japanese hosts are the regulars whose names I didn’t catch and Akitoshi Saito. Your English hosts are Stewart (BANG!) Fulton & Mark Pickering.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s already a near-sellout based on advance ticket sales coming into today but probably no standing room seats. Sounds like it’s whether or not they may get to 1500 but I’ll guess a super full house of 1450. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1396)
The matches should begin in 15-20 minutes.
