Impact Wrestling’s Ace Austin and Chris Bey are threatening to dominate the Super Jr. Tag League tournament after winning their second match in a row on night two. The Bullet Club duo beat Suzuki-gun’s DOUKI and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
Meanwhile, the IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions of Francesco Akira and TJP also won their second match in a row by defeating Alex Zayne and El Lindaman.
The team of Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Douki as well as Dick Togo and Sho remain winless and haven’t earned any points so far.
The match between Robbie Eagles and Tiger Mask versus YOH and Lio Rush was one of the best tag matches I have seen in some time though. It was just a lot of fun. Yoh and Rush ended up winning with a 3K on Mask.
The winners of the tournament get to challenge for the titles at Wrestle Kingdom. If the champs win, they get to pick their opponents.
