00:00Hello, Pro Wrestling fans. My name is Walker Stewart.

00:06It is time for Night 11 of World Tag League 2025, courtesy of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

00:12We are live here tonight in Eneon Arena Osaka No. 2.

00:16Yoroshiku onagashimasu!

00:30Well, we kick off here tonight, wrestling fans. Six-man tag team competition coming away here.

00:55United Empire take their way down to ringside.

00:58And we kick off with United Empire and Great Okan and Cal Newman at six points only on the board here tonight.

01:05Still alive and well in the running and back tied amongst many at the top of Block B.

01:11Great Okan and Cal Newman have a lot to show out for here on the evening as we preview action against Roshi Tanahashi, Hell Phantasmo.

01:20And Katsuya Morishima here is a dangerous, dangerous man himself.

01:24Well, the former young boy for United Empire, Jacob Austin Young, certainly showcasing what he's shown.

01:32The Sorrelia Blue has a reason.

01:34But a lot of what Jacob Austin Young has been showing hasn't exactly been in the Sorrelia Blue, but outside the Sorrelia Blue.

01:44The assist coming to Cal Newman and Great Okan, allowing Jacob Austin Young to assist for six points.

01:54It was not too long ago, I had Cal Newman join me in the English broadcast.

02:02But who can I ask him the question, what does it mean to have Jacob Austin Young in this position?

02:07You long demonized men who have cheated in professional wrestling matches before,

02:13like House of Torture, for instance, we'll see later on in Block A competition.

02:16Cal Newman saying, well, I didn't tell Jacob to do it.

02:23That being the only excuse United Empire has, let's see what Cal Newman, Jacob Austin Young and Great Okan can do here tonight.

02:30Well, it was victory on the evening for Monster Sauce, or rather over Monster Sauce, Alex Zane and Lance Archer.

02:48We're going to be hearing from Alex Zane later on here tonight in the English broadcast booth,

02:52All Things Considered, Hiroshi Tanahashi, El Phantasmo, four points on the board.

02:57This is Team Ergotone walking in here tonight.

03:01That's Phantasmo, Tata, and Young Lion, Katsuya Morishima,

03:05Tata in the glasses here tonight.

03:07And these three men are looking to light up Osaka here on the evening.

03:11They're looking to light up wholesale in the air.

03:15No way, the тай's name takes care.

03:16Soon, the company is the same.

04:37Here tonight Hiroshi Tanahashi and El Phantasmo

04:41Walk in tonight on four points

04:48Yeah well the physique game hasn't exactly been on

04:50For El Phantasmo as of recent

04:55Oh, let's get a second shot here

04:57There we go

04:59Sometimes it's worth getting a second opinion

05:01Oh well

05:03I think Phantasmo wants to see the

05:05Concorso reveal for Katsuya Morishima

05:11Oh, okay

05:13It's a man who's been eating his chanko in the dojo

05:16A lot of size added in the last calendar year for Young Lion

05:19Katsuya Morishima as it is

05:21Murashima, El Phantasmo, Hiroshi Tanahashi

05:24Tanahashi

05:26Tanahashi

05:27Tanahashi

05:28Taking on United Empire's own

05:30Callum Newman

05:31Jacob Austin Young and Great Okan

05:33And these people came here tonight

05:34For our opening match of the evening

05:36They want to see Tanahashi go first

05:38And the Ace of the Universe going to step into the ring

05:41With one of three members

05:42Of United Empire

05:44Of United Empire

05:45But if it's the way Jacob Austin Young prefers it

05:47Well

05:48Certainly going to be all three members of United Empire

05:54And here's one to look at

05:56Calum Newman, Hiroshi Tanahashi

05:58Let's sound the gong

05:59One fall, 20 minute time limit here tonight

06:01It is the Ace of the Universe Hiroshi Tanahashi

06:08Taking on the Prince Calum Newman

06:10It was a story that Calum Newman told me

06:12That I want to highlight heading into this Block B matchup

06:16Soon to come

06:17On December 7th

06:19That's about 48 hours from now

06:21The next time that we join you

06:22For NJPW World Action

06:24It was Hiroshi Tanahashi

06:26Who would be the first man to greet Calum Newman

06:28Following Wrestling Dantaku 2025 Night 2

06:32Back in May of this year

06:34Where Calum Newman would shockingly and surprisingly

06:36Challenge Hiroki Goto at the time

06:38For the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship

06:40As he was just off the back of Jeff Cobb

06:42Making his exit from New Japan Pro Wrestling

06:45Joining the likes of WWE

06:46And Calum Newman

06:47Being left in the dust

06:48Vacating the IWGP Tag Team Titling

06:50Newman in a bit of a state of disconnection

06:53With United Empire at that point

06:55A bit of a state of disconnection

06:56With New Japan Pro Wrestling overall

06:58We've really seen that evolve

07:00Into what it has

07:01Between

07:02Well this current iteration of

07:04Calum Newman and Great Okan

07:08But it was Hiroshi Tanahashi

07:10Who would be the first man to greet Calum Newman

07:12After his post-match comments

07:14Following the World Heavyweight Championship

07:16Challenge against Kozo

07:17Where Tanahashi said

07:18We need you to stay in New Japan Pro Wrestling

07:21And it was Calum Newman

07:24Who credits those words

07:25For being the reason that

07:26A he is still in New Japan Pro Wrestling today

07:29And B the fact that Calum Newman

07:31Has taken a little bit more motivation

07:33To control his own destiny here

07:35At NJPW

07:36Someone as phenomenal

07:37As the ace of the universe can believe in you

07:39Well then certainly

07:41You know showed a lot of promise

07:43At a very very young age

07:44Calum Newman holds 23 years of age

07:46And it is Newman here tonight

07:49Who is going to wrestle

07:50Well and beyond his years

07:52As the target to that left knee

07:54Continues here on the ace

07:56That's Calum Newman who is so well forced within these strikes

08:13Newman now to make the tag out in the blue corner

08:16Here comes Jake Boston Young

08:18And it is J-A-Y who has a shock to many

08:21Could not find many points in his debut tournament here in New Japan

08:24Back with Super Junior Tag League alongside Templario

08:27Whoa

08:28And United Empire

08:30That's insult to injury here

08:33A sling blade from Jacob Austin Young

08:36Cover here

08:37And the sling J, if you will, only finds two on Tanahashi

08:42I mean what an embarrassment it would be for the ace of the universe

08:46To be put down by the maneuver that he brought into creation

08:50Brought into this world into sling blade

08:52That being Jacob Austin Young just utilized on the ace

08:56Great Okan meanwhile

08:57Going to shove referee Yui Sakamoto over to El Phantasmo

09:01And now

09:02And El Phantasmo going to shove back a little bit harder

09:07Meanwhile Great Okan

09:08Remember it well wrestling fans it was destruction in Kobe

09:11September of this year we were live in Kobe World Memorial Hall

09:15Great Okan falling to Hiroshi Tanahashi in a singles competition and it more than likely

09:22Last time you will ever see Great Okan and Hiroshi Tanahashi in a singles competition against one another

09:28Great Okan knowing that is a stain that will always sit just as perfectly as Great Okan sits now

09:35On the knee of Tanahashi it will sit on the record between these two men

09:39Never to be undone, never to be erased

09:41And the only thing Great Okan can hope for is attacking Calum Newman here tonight

09:48For a victory to come in his way in world tag lead that's gonna be coming up for

09:54December 7th that's 48 hours from now

09:57Calum Newman and Great Okan taking on Hiroshi Tanahashi and El Phantasmo

10:02Watch him in here

10:06Short knees right to the skull of Tanahashi

10:11Watch this now

10:12Got it

10:13Dragon Screw Liquid

10:14And Tanahashi gonna have to make his way to the red corner

10:19Tag in his own partner here in his final New Japan Tournament

10:23World Tag League 2025 rolls on

10:25Tag made here's LP

10:27Here's Great Okan

10:29And the wars that these two men have had all throughout 2025

10:33All over that bronze and gold championship

10:37Berated down to ringside by LP

10:39That NJPW World Television Championship

10:42Two reigns deep and that was all Phantasmo

10:44And that first reign ended back in the Mokosuma Hall

10:47Is here

10:48Sakura Genesis

10:49A count out victory for Okan

10:51And it was Okan who would lose that title within the same 30 day span of a month in April

10:59And that championship coming back around the waist of LP

11:03And Stasmo now well over 220 days with the NJPW World Television Championship

11:09And here comes Jake Boston Young now right up over the top

11:14Swing for the fences

11:16Caught with the hot shot

11:18And JAY stumbles to the outs here

11:20Phantasmo up and over here for Newman

11:22Watch now LP

11:24Moonsault to the outside

11:26And the action rolls on right here, El Phantasmo in what feels like a second home here in Osaka

11:32These people are going crazy for LP, watch now Moonsault right off the middle cover here for Phantasmo again, two count off

11:50And a big, I love you from El Phantasmo to the people here

12:06Well Phantasmo thought that he might have had a victory here over Great Okan, but it's still going to attack it

12:12Let's see what Murashima can manage to cook up here

12:14Come on

12:18And Phantasmo gonna call a couple of plays here

12:21Murashima Phantasmo sent Okan into the corner

12:23And like a battery brain

12:26In comes Morashima

12:28When comes Tanahashi, Phantasmo full body attack as well

12:32Wait a minute, Okan, Okan for the ride

12:40Cover here, Murashima broke it up again

12:44And now Phantasmo takes Newman to the outside

12:49Tanahashi on Jacob Austin Young

12:51And this leaves Great Okan all alone inside that ring

12:53Tatsy Morashima's gotta do everything in his power to try and avoid that claw

12:57Because what comes next is gonna be even more dangerous

13:01Wait a minute, wait a minute, full speed into the cover

13:04Two

13:09Running Sentai

13:14One more time, Daisuke Das cover here

13:17And it's two count on it

13:20Murashima now off the corner

13:36No, a straight right crack from Murashima

13:41From Murashima

13:46And Okan just one more, one more time

13:48Gregory Sakamoto may have to call this off

13:50Murashima's not putting up any defense here

13:52No, no, no, no, no, no, that's a real reason to call this match off

13:57Again, Great Okan incensed here tonight

14:01Grounding out with a submission

14:04Sakamoto's gotta call this now

14:06It's over, it's over, let's get this done

14:08It's over 8 minutes

14:11Great Okan's winning

14:13And oh, no, we gotta separate this now

14:16Great Okan, I understand making a statement

14:19I understand pulling a point

14:22But there is no reason to keep this attack in on Katsy Morashima

14:26And Tadahashi gonna show Okan what for

14:29Tadahashi taking one of those chops

14:31And now here's LP

14:38It's coming down to these two men

14:53Against an entire empire

14:55And it's an empire that has been broken, fractured, and beaten beyond repair

14:59In the mind of many, Calum Newman, Jacob Austin Young, and potentially even Great Okan

15:04Hope to keep that empire alive

15:06Six points on the board for United Empire

15:09Four for Tadahashi and El Phantasmal

15:12Tadah and ELP in a need-to-win situation

15:16And Block B is rolling down now

15:21To it's final two matches

15:44Katsy! Katsy! Katsy! Katsy!

15:46Katsy! Katsy!

15:48Today is my last time in Osaka, and I am very, very thankful for you all.

16:08The final time for Hiroshi Tanahachi to wrestle in the beautiful prefecture of Osaka.

16:21And it has come here tonight in our opening match for the evening.

16:24And we continue to count down time until we say goodbye to the Ace of the Universe.

16:29I know that my heart is certainly not ready for what sets a comma on January 4th, 2026.

16:40It will say goodbye to Hiroshi Tanahachi in a professional wrestling ring.

16:59Wrestling fans, we have a lot of great action coming up for you here on the evening.

17:08Hashtag NJWTL on all social media to talk all about it.

17:13Goodbye to the Ace of the Universe here tonight in Osaka, Japan.

17:17We move right on next.
