00:30Well, that guitar and that lack of style for Sonata and Renderita both have been the bane of the existence of every single member of the New Japan Pro Wrestling roster, whether it be TMDK, whether it be the War Dogs, or anywhere in between.
00:53But tonight, it is Sonata and Renderita, admitted by the best technical wrestler in the world himself, Zack Sabre Jr., as the two best members of the House to face off against TMDK here tonight.
01:08Two points on the board for Renderita and Sonata.
01:23Renderita is there in the Air Force on the Renderita and Renderita.
01:53And it's Zack Sabre Jr. who sent himself back in Zendai.
02:06The most useless group of tools in pro wrestling are the 48 members of House of Torture.
02:12Well, there is a use to be had here tonight for Rendarita and Sonata,
02:16and that's as punching bags.
02:17Zack Sabre Jr. and Rio Heoio are getting their licks in.
02:20The bell sounded, and we are officially underway here tonight.
02:24And we have to remember what happened back in Zendai,
02:27and what's going to have a pep in the step,
02:29or maybe a slowdown in the wheel for Rio Heoioa.
02:32And that was that attack on the knee, steel chairs,
02:36pulverizing the knee of Rio Heoioa,
02:40but certainly feeling really good about 48 hours later.
02:43We're going to see if that maintains, however,
02:46as Rendarita and Sonata certainly know how to work the basement,
02:49as it is.
02:50Oya Watt and Sabre Jr., two points, or rather four points on the board,
02:54taking on Rendarita and Sonata, two points on the board.
02:58TMDK, the only team in Block B with an opportunity to stay undefeated,
03:03that is, if they can defeat.
03:04Narita and Sonata here tonight.
03:09Zack Sabre Jr., all the success that this man has had in tag team pro wrestling,
03:14a little bit understated,
03:16thanks to a couple of IWGP World Heavyweight Championship reigns in the modern era.
03:20But Zack Sabre Jr., once upon a time,
03:23won half the dangerous techers.
03:25New Japan pro wrestling fans know well in a way,
03:28a multiple-time IWGP tag team champion.
03:30Meanwhile, Rio Heoioa entering his third World Tag League,
03:34teamed alongside Kaito Kiyomiya back in 2023.
03:39They'll get Zack Sabre Jr. in years to follow, 24 and 25.
03:43But, oh, good Lord,
03:45this is the way that the House are able to change the conversation topic.
03:48Just like that, IWGP sent right into the barricades by Sonata here.
03:55And Narita,
03:56oh, has not forgotten whatsoever about that battle.
04:00Destruction in Kobe.
04:01The World Heavyweight title is up for grabs.
04:03Zack Sabre Jr. got his final championship defense against this man right here.
04:14Sonata continuing to try and parade around.
04:17Ryo Heoioa, meanwhile.
04:18Meanwhile, the referee, Marty Asami, no vision in his sight here.
04:23And what's just happened on the outside?
04:24Oh, come on.
04:32Well, we knew it was not going to take long
04:33before our semi-main event broke down in this fashion.
04:36Sonata and Red Narita have certainly managed to flip this one on its head.
04:41Ryo Heoioa has found success in tag team tournaments before it was back on excursion in pro wrestling.
04:53Noah, team to long side, Kaito Kiyomiya in 2024, winning the victory challenge tag league over in Noah.
05:00A very different tournament style and structure compared to World Tag League, though.
05:05Single elimination compared to round robin.
05:07And, oh, this is the difficulty of competing in a tournament of this style.
05:11Ryo Heoioa has to try and put up the fight, not just in one night, not just in one round,
05:17but continue to go throughout every single team in his league block.
05:22And there are some very, very tough competitive teams over in the block B side of the equation.
05:26And Sonata going to put the boot right to the gut of Ryo Heoioa.
05:34Come on, Ryo Heoioa.
05:36Come on, Ryo, get that thing off, stop.
05:39Get that thing off, stop.
05:42And Sonata again.
05:44Oh, huge misdirection here.
05:46Brings Ryo Heoioa into the exposed turnbuckle.
05:50You look at what Sonata has become in 2025.
05:53It was not too long ago I was first making my way into the parts of New Japan Pro Wrestling
05:57and saw Sonata stand as a IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, a clean-cut man, a man of the people.
06:04Even if it was the people that he would not address on the road to the Tokyo Dome those years ago.
06:08But even Sonata, you could have never imagined this would have been what we would have come to.
06:17Even last year, teaming alongside Gabe Kidd as a member of the War Dogs,
06:22made it to the final of World Tag League.
06:24And even then, we thought, well, Sonata could not get any lower.
06:28And that was until he joined Red Narita in House of Torture.
06:31And look at this.
06:32Narita had that stump puller locked in, and that knee bar is certainly going to do the work on Ryo Heoioa here.
06:39As Asami had to use the Force to separate.
06:41There's that shot there to Sonata.
06:59Narita.
06:59Oh, look at this.
07:02Oh, and a little extracurricular trip for Red Narita tonight.
07:06Take Soyua's left knee directly into that post.
07:09And what did we talk about earlier, fans?
07:11Back in Sendai, what we saw.
07:13That left knee pulverized by steel chairs.
07:19That post-match attack.
07:21Blatant and dirty, as always, from House of Torture.
07:26Sonata managed to cut that one down before it could get started.
07:31Soyua standing switch into the waist lock here.
07:33Off the rope, Sonata dropped down there for Oyewa.
07:38Found the dropkick, but all the pressure in the world going on that damaged left knee heading into tonight.
07:46And Ryo Heoioa's got to make the tag.
07:49He's got it here.
07:50Welcome Zack Sabre Jr.
07:54Zack Sabre Jr. and Sonata.
07:57One of my favorite pairings that you will see in singles competition.
08:00Oh, but a very different Sonata since the last time these two men faced off one-on-one back at Royal Quest IV in London.
08:11Sonata's changed units two, three times since then.
08:16Sabre Jr. certainly has not forgotten the Sonata that he knows is inside.
08:21Sonata claims that individual is dead and gone by comparison.
08:26Let's see here, Sonata punched right to the skull of Zack Sabre Jr.
08:35Follows up with an uppercut, does that.
08:37Oh, try to go for the low blow shot right in front of Artie Asami, Zack Sabre Jr.
08:50Oh, he doesn't need to shoot low to aim high.
08:54And Renderita captured down as well.
08:57Two of the most technically prolific members of House of Torture.
09:00Caught in the grass with the greatest technical wrestler in the world, in ZSJ.
09:06And Zack now, look at this, full control.
09:10The way that he manipulates it on his body is just so incredible to witness.
09:13Oh, Zack now.
09:20Oh, yes.
09:22Oh, to the bottom rope.
09:26Momentary misstep there by Zack Sabre Jr.
09:28Did not keep that leg captured.
09:31And Sonata manages to survive for the time being.
09:33No, no, no.
09:35Ah, ah.
09:37Ah.
09:38Ah.
09:39Ah.
09:39Ah.
09:40Ah.
09:40Ah.
09:41Ah.
09:41Ah.
09:42Ah.
09:42Ah.
09:43Oh, and a basement dropkick right there.
09:50Sabre Jr.
09:51We're in the worst of ways right now on Sonata tonight.
09:55Ah.
09:56Ah.
09:57Ah.
09:58Ah.
09:59Ah.
10:00Ah.
10:01Ah.

10:11Ah.
10:12Ah.
10:12Ah.
10:13Ah.

10:19Ah.
10:20Ah.
10:20Ah.

10:30Ah.
10:30Ah.
10:31Ah.
10:31Ah.
10:32Ah.
10:32Ah.
10:33Ah. Ah.
10:33And Sabre Jr.
10:43Continuing the assault
10:44Oh, but that dragon screw
10:46Knee after knee after knee
10:49Being targeted by the house
10:50On both sides tonight
10:51There's the Shining Wizard
10:54Ducked under
10:55Watch Sonata now
10:58No, Sabre
11:00Twist off the top
11:01Oyewan Sabre now
11:21Continuing the assault
11:22On Sonata
11:24Low brew
11:26Oh, good lord
11:27Oyewan
11:28Nearly takes him the ride there
11:30Oh, and a low blow
11:34Riding the wrong rope right now
11:38As Rioja Oyewise
11:39Red Narita
11:40Makes the tag out
11:41Right to the throat
11:52Narita
11:56Wants two more points
11:58Wants to end the undefeated run
11:59Of TMDK
12:01In this year's World Tag League
12:02Oh, but Narita
12:08Turns it around
12:09Narita turns it around
12:10Oyewan
12:11Hip toss out
12:12Get off the ropes again
12:15Big shoulder tackle
12:16Splash in
12:17Cover for Oyewan
12:18Two count only
12:21Oh, that sleeper hold
12:21Oh, that sleeper hold
12:35You know what it always sets up for here
12:36That discus Liria, he calls the grip
12:37Oh, he might be able to land it sooner than later
12:39Keep that streak alive
12:40But Narita, Narita
12:41Oh, steps through now
12:43And Red Narita in the worst of ways here
12:45As Oyewa centered up
12:46Zack Sabre on the outside
12:47And Narita's gotta try
12:48To tap out Oyewa right now
12:49Yeah
12:50Yeah
12:51Yeah
12:52Yeah
12:53Yeah
12:54Yeah
12:55Yeah
12:56Yeah
12:57Yeah
12:58Yeah
12:59Yeah
13:00Yeah
13:01Yeah
13:02Oyewa trying to rotate the pressure
13:21Bring things over to the bottom rope and it's inches away
13:25Oyewa snatches it
13:27We know what Narita looks for from this top rope
13:41Two years ago, nearly to the day we first saw that Hell's guillotine but
13:47No, Oyewa again
13:49Turning the tide tonight for TMDK
13:52Zack Sabre up in the corner
13:54Tag in the red
13:55Here comes Zack
13:56No, no, no
13:59No, no, no
14:01Yeah, fucking
14:03Yeah
14:04Zack double leg Nelson
14:07Sabre for the cover
14:09No
14:10Nearly stole one on Red Narita
14:14You can feel the tension building, you can feel the blood boil and rise
14:19And it's all for this, the World Tag League Cup
14:23Could be coming home to Oyewa and Sabre
14:25Sabre, meeting in the middle.
14:31The arena sandwiched on the Tenzan suplex.
14:34Broken up by Sonata again.
14:40Come on, let's go.
14:45Come on, let's go.
14:47Come on, let's go.
14:51Watch Oyewa now, that grip, the grip nearly inbound.
14:59But Renderita managed to sandwich it down, rolled through.
15:03Oyewa, Dr. Bomb, Dr. Bomb, the cover.
15:08What the, oh, give me a damn break.
15:12What the hell is this?
15:14Sonata has pulled Marty Asami out of the ring and now,
15:20oh, come on, no, Katamaru, Yujiro, these damn snakes.
15:26No, and Hartley Jackson, Hartley Jackson.
15:35But look what's behind you, buddy.
15:36No, no, no, Don Fale and Chase Owens back out here.
15:41I mean, Zack and Oyewa, this is a winless battle.
15:47It's a winless battle now.
15:49Missed in the eyes, whiskey in the eyes of Zack Sabre.
15:53No, no, no, evil, Lariat.
16:00No, and fed on a silver platter by the house here.
16:11This is a damn shame, it's a crime shame, the hell's guillotine.
16:16Asami, no, don't do it.
16:20It's over.
16:2714.4秒, Narita's the victory.
16:31Ryohei Oyewa and Zack Sabre Jr.
16:39taste loss for the first time in this year's World Tag League.
16:43Four points on the board for Narita Ensenada here.
17:11There is a dark shadow that has been cast over this World Tag League with three different
17:34entries across two blocks from this damn unit in the house.
17:40Welcome to the house, soldiers.
17:43Well, it's gonna be better luck next time.
17:50They're gonna have to hope for it for Zack Sabre and Ryohei Oyewa.
17:53It's coming up next, November 30th.
17:56ZSJ and Oya want to take on Tanahashi and Phantasmo and Akita.
