All-Japan kicks off the 2026 World’s Strongest Tag League, sometimes called the Real World Tag League, today in Tokyo. The promotion’s annual Heavyweight tag team tournament, it’s a 2-block round-robin format event with 12 teams entered this year, and already the promotion has run it’s prediction contest for fans to pick who will win. This year they’ve been wrong in each of the prior predictions for winners, which based on this poll does not bode well for the Yumas as the top vote-getters to win were Yuma Aoyagi & Yuma Anzai followed by the Saitos in 2nd and a tie for 3rd between Ren Ayabe & Talos and Suwama & Go Shiozaki. Today will feature 2 matches in each of the 2 blocks headlined by both the Yumas and the Saitos with the main event being Jun & Rei Saito vs. Suwama & Shiozaki.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on AJPW.TV in Japanese. This will also be a GAORA SPORTS broadcast in Japan. The event is a legit advance sellout including standing room only tickets sold out. There are 6 matches planned with the usual halfway intermission and all but one match has a 30 minute time limit so this event will probably go about 2 1/2 hours.

Tag League Block A: Xyon & Odyssey vs. Kento Miyahara & Hyo Ogawa
