The TMDK combination of Zack Sabre Jr and Ryohei Oiwa has won the 2025 edition of the World Tag League, beating Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji in the finals. TMDK will now go on to face the IWGP World Tag Team Champions, currently the Knockout Brothers (Yuto Ice and Oskar), traditionally at Wrestle Kingdom.
In other newsworthy happenings from the card, Callum Newman announced the return of Henare for a match at Wrestle Kingdom, and also teased two new members of United Empire. Toru Yano, Master Wato, and Yoh retained the Never Openweight Six-Man Championships against a House of Torture combination of Evil, Sanada, and Ren Narita. El Phantasmo defended the NJPW World TV Championship against Hartley Jackson.
