00:00The following contest is a tag team match set for Wattles.

00:07And it is for the GHC Tag Team Championship.

00:13Now at the new year, 2026, the GHC Tag Team Championship titles are on the line.

00:20The 75th generation champions set to make their first title defense here today.

00:27And there's still some unknowns up in the air.

00:30One of our championship marquee bounces in, but the question, the burning question, who is X?

00:36No one knows. It is the biggest topic of conversation on social media, newspapers.

00:42Everybody's trying to get to the bottom of this.

00:44We're gonna find out shortly, who did Bushi bring with him?

00:48Introducing first, starting out of the blue corner.

00:52One half of the challenge of Bushi, we already knew he was coming out here today.

01:07The question is, who is alongside him?

01:10We know he represents Los Dranquillos.

01:14Very anti-establishment mindset, but who is with him?

01:19There was speculation it was Sayaka Unagi.

01:22Yeah, absolutely.

01:23Keno said, please, don't let it be her.

01:25This is one of the best-kept secrets in Japan, isn't it?

01:29Exactly.

01:30Keno has been on a tear, he's been running around, going to Bushi's restaurant,

01:36trying to wheedle the staff, trying to figure out who this could possibly be.

01:40Bushi's mask already has GHC tag team on it.

01:44So he believes that it's just all academics.

01:48Absolutely.

01:49He takes the belts here today from Martin.

01:51The man of a million masks.

01:56He's in his business attire as well, isn't he?

02:07Representing Los Dranquillos to her pawn, Bushi.

02:14Layers of masks to this man.

02:17He's already on to mask number three, and that's just his entrance.

02:22Former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

02:29He threw his mask and Keiji Muto caught it, how about that?

02:33It's auspicious.

02:38Arriving with calm confidence, unbothered, unapologetic and dangerous.

02:44Bushi, but who is X?

02:48Who is the man?

02:50Alongside him here today, attempting to take the GHC tag team gold from Naumichimara Fuji and Keno.

02:58He's really building the suspense as well, isn't he, Mike?

03:00Exactly.

03:03Perched over the ring right here, toying with the crowd.

03:06And you can only imagine how livid Keno must be right now.

03:09And you can only imagine how livid Keno must be right now.

03:12Oh, he is absolutely beside himself.

03:15Oh, he's absolutely beside himself.

03:17No, he's still here.

03:18We're still not gonna find out who acts it.

03:19But Keno's big music player, garlic boys, crook and hot mosh, the crowd pop.

03:21And you can only imagine how livid Keno must be right now.

03:36He is absolutely beside himself that anyone from outside of the arc

03:44would dare come on board and challenge for these belts.

03:48Joining and defending THC tag team champions.

03:54Now meeting Marufuji and his tag team partner, Ken O.

04:04Two killers of Noah.

04:06Marufuji's precision and Keno's intensity unite today at the Pudokan.

04:13It's their first defense for the champions and a test of cohesion

04:18against one of wrestling's most dangerous duos we predict.

04:23Keno did not want X to grace the Noah ring before him today.

04:27Clearly, he would not be happy with that at all.

04:33Former two-time GHC heavyweight champion, Keno has held the tag team championship four times.

04:42Now in his fourth reign alongside Marufuji as Maru Ken.

04:49Can I call him out?

04:52Can I call him out?

04:53Then X, let's see X now, let's bring him out.

04:58The challenge has taken unruly control here on board the arc.

05:05The speculation is over.

05:10It's Tetsuya Naito.

05:14Listen to that throw.

05:17Two spots.

05:18Naito is in pro wrestling now.

05:25Former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.

05:30Former IWGP Tag Team Champion.

05:36This man has been around the block and then some.

05:38One of the most illustrious heavyweights.

05:40One of the most charismatic.

05:41And one of the biggest fan favorites.

05:43The Japanese fans are finally able to chant his name.

05:46For the first time since May of last year,

05:49when he last competed in this country.

05:52We've got Naito's big match instincts paired with Bushi's speed and deception.

05:58This makes a very volatile challenge for the champions here today.

06:08What?

06:09Hold on a minute.

06:10That wasn't the picture we saw.

06:15Mind games.

06:16More mind games.

06:30The great Keiji Muto.

06:312023.

06:32The Tokyo Dome.

06:33We go of course here.

06:34At ringside.

06:35And Kano is spinning mad right now.

06:37In an emotional rage, doesn't he Kano?

06:38Can Marufuji and Kano maintain tag team structure under Naito's unquestionable pacing control?

06:52And Marufuji and Kano maintain tag team structure under Naito's unquestionable pacing control.
