NJPW World Tag League Day Three: Chaos pulls ahead

The Chaos faction team of Tomohiro Ishii and Yoshi-Hashi sit at the top of the World Tag League tournament with an undefeated record.

At Day Three emanating from Korakuen Hall, the team defeated the powerhouse Los Ingobernables team of Terrible and Shingo Takagi who surprisingly have failed to win a match thus far.

Los Ingobernables battered Ishii with a Pumping Bomber and a powerbomb yet he still kicked out bringing gasps from the crowd.

As Terrible prepared for the La Terriblina on Ishii, Yoshi-Hashi super kicked him in the back of the head. Ishii blocked a Pumping Bomber from Takagi pushing him into Yoshi-Hashi. Yoshi kicked him in the gut. Ishii hit him with a forearm to the back of the head. Yoshi hit a Code Breaker and Ishii German Suplexed Takagi out of the ring. While Yoshi kept Takagi busy outside of the ring, Ishii pinned Terrible with his brain buster inside the ring.

The winners of World Tag League will face the IWGP Tag Team Champions – Guerrillas of Destiny (Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga) – at Wrestle Kingdom.
