00:00Hello Pro Wrestling fans, my name is Walker Stewart, and it is time for New Japan Pro Wrestling's World Tag League 2025 Night 4, live from Big Pallet Fukushima.
00:14And we are kicking off with a couple of outlaws here in the House of Torture.
00:19The Lone Star Outlaw following behind the pack here, Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi, two Block A competitors.
00:30I gotta tell you, wrestling fans, it's an absolute honor and pleasure to be back here in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:37And yet another night in Big Pallet Fukushima, it is Night 4 of World Tag League.
00:46But it is Night 5 of World Tag League that we preview here tonight, as it is Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi who will go two-on-two with these two men set to come out here tonight.
01:00I say these two men, but flanked of course by
01:29and third in Gato, it is not Gato and Gabe Kidd your World Tag League combination, but rather Gabe Kidd and this man.
01:39It is the number one contender for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
01:54will battle Konosuke Takeshi to January 4th, 2026, Wrestle Kingdom 20 in the Tokyo Dome.
02:00He is the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, and he hopes to win this year's World Tag League alongside Gabe Kidd.
02:08It is Yota Tsuji, who accompanies the Madman, the War Ready, Gabe Kidd, and we are going to be set right here, right now for six-man tag team action to kick us off for World Tag League Night 4.
02:21We are going to be set right here, Gabe Kidd, and we are going to be set right here, Gabe Kidd, and we are going to be set right here, Gabe Kidd.
02:28And the war ready, Gabe Kidd, and IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, G-Ong Grasso Tsuji Yota!
02:35IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, G-Ong Grasso Tsuji Yota!
02:50And that man right there, the sixth ever
02:56IWGP Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion.
02:59The man who is set to face one-on-one
03:01against Konosuke Takeshita.
03:03Both championships on the line for the Tokyo Dome.
03:06There you see the lovely Japanese broadcast team,
03:08Haruo Murata, Toronto Collection A team for the evening.
03:11Hideyoshi Tenzan in the building.
03:12Had a great conversation with Tenzan earlier
03:15here tonight in Fukushima.
03:17A former IWGP Tag Team Champion
03:21and World Tag League finalist in his own right.
03:23Let's see what Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi
03:27alongside Yoshino Bukanamaru
03:29are going to be able to cook up here
03:30against the War Dog unaffiliated combination.
03:33That is Gabe Kidd, Gato, and Yota Tsuji
03:36here on the evening.
03:37A lot to talk about as we get into
03:39World Tag League 2025 Night 4.
03:41Kickoff, bell sounds, and we're officially underway.
03:44Gabe Kidd versus a former Bullet Club member,
03:49one of the last remaining OGs of the Bullet Club
03:52up to a certain point.
03:54That was Chase Owens.
03:56But come June earlier on this year,
03:58the switch for one Don Folle to House of Torture
04:01meant the switch for Chase Owens
04:03into House of Torture.
04:05And a new and improved by all measures,
04:08Chase Owens.
04:09The Lone Star outlawed the boots
04:11in the cowboy hat will not lie to you here tonight
04:13as it is Gabe Kidd scooping a slam here on Yudro.
04:17Shot to Takahashi as well.
04:20And a lot of positivity heading in the corner
04:22of Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji.
04:24Two matches into this year's World Tag League
04:26and a one-and-one record is going to put
04:28those two men on two points.
04:30Watch Tsuji here off the ropes.
04:32Mount Tsuji Falls for the global champion.
04:34And an elbow drop for the former.
04:36Cover here for Gabe and a one-count only.
04:39It was a night-one victory.
04:45Or rather a night-one loss for Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji
04:48in the main event of Cork and Hall
04:49against Drill Maloney and Shingo Takagi,
04:51the newly dubbed War Dragons.
04:54Meanwhile, just four nights down the line,
04:57Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji yesterday
04:58would put down Don Folle and Evil.
05:00We saw the first iteration of the War Blaster
05:04from Gabe Kidd and Yota Tsuji.
05:06That's a rebound-Lariat-Sphere combination
05:08that these two men have cooked up
05:10to put down the behemoth that was Don Folle.
05:12We're going to see if that's going to be able to bring
05:14Gabe Kidd and Tsuji any bit closer
05:16to a World Tag League final standing.
05:18But for right now, Chase Owens takes it in
05:21to his former War Dog member,
05:23his former Bullet Club member,
05:24here in Ghetto.
05:31It's got to be a lot of frustration
05:33for the members of the War Dogs
05:34against now former Bullet Club members,
05:38Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi.
05:40And Yudro has been in the dark side of the house
05:42for quite some time.
05:43Chase Owens, a very recent addition
05:45within the past calendar year.
05:47And for that reason, the first time ever
05:49that these two men, heavily experienced
05:51in World Tag League competition,
05:53Yudro and Chase Owens are,
05:54to be competing alongside one another
05:56in this tournament.
05:58There's a head drop there for Yudro down
06:01and a leg drop as well on Ghetto.
06:04Going to follow up in a big way.
06:06Cover here for Yudro on Ghetto.
06:09Two count only.
06:10Yudro Takahashi enters his 13th
06:15New Japan World Tag League,
06:17competed in the inaugural tournament
06:19back in 2012 alongside Masato Tanaka.
06:22Had some runs alongside AJ Styles,
06:24Hangman Page, and Evil
06:25for a multitude of years before,
06:27while now finding his way alongside
06:29Chase Owens in 2025.
06:31But not much to show for it.
06:33Two matches already dropped
06:35for Owens and Yudro
06:36in this year's World Tag League tournament.
06:38Let's see if Kanemaru can aid in any luck
06:41on the side of the house here.
06:44As Kanemaru, ooh, from the middle rope,
06:46Ghetto out of the way,
06:47and a huge shot to the jaw.
06:49Going to change the momentum on that one.
06:59And of course, tag made in the corner.
07:01Here comes Yota Tsuji.
07:03Number one contender
07:04for the IWGP World Heavyweight title,
07:06IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship holder.
07:11And a camera daughter here on Yota Tsuji
07:14to follow in in a big, big way.
07:16Let's see if Tsuji and Kidd
07:17can build any momentum
07:19heading into a first-time tag team clash
07:21against Chase Owens and Yudro Takahashi
07:24just 24 hours from now in Senda.
07:26He wants Yudro and Chase here.
07:31Yudro to follow in.
07:33Big boot there in the corner.
07:34Chase with an elbow shot.
07:36Chase Owens, a former student
07:38of the legendary NWA tag team wrestler,
07:41Ricky Morton,
07:42has a breakup on the cover there
07:44on Yota Tsuji.
07:46It is hard to train underneath a man
07:48like Ricky Morton
07:49and not walk away an incredible tag team athlete.
07:51And that's what Chase Owens
07:51has found himself to beat.
07:53Reigned multiple times last year
07:55as IWGP Tag Team Champion
07:56alongside Kenta.
07:58Has never won a World Tag League, though,
08:01as anyone in this equation.
08:02Let's see if Yota Tsuji
08:04can turn this one around.
08:08Yes, watch it.
08:09Watch it all the way around the world.
08:11Kanemaru, though, back to the basement
08:12and takes it to that left knee of Tsuji.
08:14This is not a lot of what Tsuji's
08:18going to have to deal with
08:18against Takeshita in the Tokyo Dome,
08:21but it's going to ready him up
08:22in a big, big way
08:23as staying active and heavy in competition
08:27in this year's World Tag League.
08:29Tsuji buckled in that left knee
08:30and even still going to set up
08:32in the corner.
08:34Kanemaru in a bad, bad way.
08:36Watch out, watch out.
08:37No, drop down victory.
08:39Roll, cover, Kanemaru.
08:41Only two.
08:41Tsuji back at it.
08:42And Tsuji with the three count
08:45for the victory tonight.
08:47Five minutes, Yota'såå©.
09:06Well, we are going to be moving
09:07right on and in
09:09to our next match of the evening
09:11soon enough,
09:11but for right now,
09:12Yota Tsuji, Game Kid, and Gato,
09:15victorious here on the evening
09:21as this War Dogs
09:23unaffiliated combination
09:24continues to impress,
09:26but can it be a build
09:27on build on build
09:28of momentum
09:29for Game Kid and Yota Tsuji?
09:31They put down
09:31Dawn Folly and Evil
09:32of House of Torture
09:33just 24 hours ago
09:35in Machina City.

09:47two points
09:47for Kid and Tsuji.
09:49And Chase Owens and Yutro
09:51still looking
09:52to get on the board.
09:53Stuck at zero
09:54for the time being.
09:55Will that change
09:56come up tomorrow?
09:57And it's Sendai.
