00:00It is the last broadcast stop on the road to New Beginning in Osaka.
00:05Nine days away in Indian Arena Osaka.
00:08We will be sold out in nine days time.
00:11And here tonight in Cochrane Hall,
00:14everybody is making sure that they can get the last word in ahead of February the 11th.
00:21And in a triple singles main event, elevate their own status in New Japan at large.
00:29We're going to start off with six-man action.
00:32Welcome to the broadcast.
00:34How are you getting it going? I'm Chris Charlton.
00:36And there are the challenges to the IWGP Tag Team Championships in nine days time.
00:42Show to Umino.
00:43On camera right here, Urumura in the front of the shot.
00:47Urumura in the front of the shot.
00:48And now, Urumura in the front of the shot.
00:51Young Lion Masutori Yasuda.
00:56Will be on the same side as Urumura and Umino here tonight.
01:01Who have.
01:05And show to Umino redirects our fans to hold the tails the right way around.
01:14Umino and Urumura gained an awful lot of confidence and earned their shot at the IWGP Tag Team Championships by beating Taichi and Tamahiro Ishii a couple weeks ago.
01:24But ever since then they have felt first hand once again and twice again and several more times.
01:35Just how awesome the Knockout Brothers are.
01:39And it was another dominant performance last night that saw Oscar and Yuto Ice to victory in preview action.
01:49One more preview in front of the cameras.
01:52And it'll be a couple more trips on live events.
01:58Doing the loop around central Japan and to Osaka.
02:04Before Aiden Arena Osaka on February the 11th.
02:10And this is the last chance to make sure that the world sees it.
02:14Unbound companies Daikinagai leads the way.
02:18The IWGP Tag Team Champions.
02:24Yuto Ice and Oscar.
02:28No doubt even Urumura and Umino have to admit the best tag team in the world.
02:32There is no doubt about it.
02:39They have proven as such in a pair of defenses already and look to make their third defense of the IWGP Tag Team Championships.
02:48Their second defense against Umino and Urumura on February the 11th.
02:54Keep your eyes on the Young Lions here tonight.
02:56Daikinagai and Masatori Yasuda who Whiskers are very, very soon will be the senior most Young Lions in the Dojo.
03:05What a fantastic match we had last night to finish up the Young Lions Cup.
03:13First match of the night was the best match of the night yesterday.
03:16No doubt about it.
03:17Go back in the archives at njpwworld.com.
03:20And congratulations to Katsuma Ashima, the winner of Young Lions Cup 2026.
03:2735.5m, Osu Kao.
03:30Go back in the chassis.
03:38180cm, 113.
03:39Yuto Ice.
03:42and the runner-up, Shoma Kato, making very direct claims and very direct appeals to
04:05Knicks go on excursion, learn a different style of professional wrestling, learn a different side of themselves overseas.
04:16I would think Murashima's request will be granted first, that being the benefit awarded him by winning the Young Lion Cup.
04:25And I will sense that Shoma Kato not far behind. I would stay tuned for more news on that tomorrow.
04:35And in the coming days to follow up, I would imagine.
04:50Boom!
04:52All right, well, we're on the way here before.
04:56Well, now they couldn't sound the bell. Now this bell sounds. We are underway here.
05:0120 minutes on the clock.
05:04And a 1-4 contest here in our opening belt.
05:07Six men's tag team action. The four men are outside the ring.
05:12And going all over Corotan Hall right now as Dakin Agai takes the offense to Masutori Yasuda inside the ring.
05:22Now, Gai and Yasuda debuted opposite one another a couple of years ago in the summer of 2024.
05:31And they have seen potentially Kato and Murashima look cover here.
05:38Potentially reach the limits of what they can do in the Nogue Dojo system and may well be moving on.
05:44So it's very much incumbent on these two young men as the guy tries and tries again and tries a third time.
05:53And Yester kicks out a third time to get the three.
05:58It is incumbent on these two men to really show which one of them is the better man at this point in time.
06:03Dakin Agai has said very bluntly, as he is very often very blunt and straight to the point, Dakin Agai has said that he does not intend to go on excursion.
06:15Dakin Agai made a choice to, even in the unright system, leave behind the rest of the NJPW main army in Hontai and instead go with what was then the unaffiliated members of Yodosuji, Hiromu Takahashi, Shingo Takagi.
06:34And he spares the knee into Yasuda, completely illegal at this point in time, but if you're Sakamoto what are you going to do about it?
06:41K.O.B. potentially incoming as Umino Nurimura made the say.
06:46Dakin Agai instead now, part of Unbound Company, Yodosuji led faction as well as Oscar and I said.
06:56Well, no one man can really take down that giant redwood tree that Oscar is, but six boots will do it.
07:04Triple dropkick takes care of the big German, but meanwhile goes downstairs.
07:10There's Nagai right to a hurt left knee and a big old lift there.
07:16Everybody who's seen on social media, what an incredible deadlift Dakin Agai has on him.
07:23And I would imagine that if Nagai does not go on excursion, then he will have eyes perhaps on Best of the Super Juniors coming up in the month of May.
07:33A lot of road to cover before we get there.
07:37How about last night?
07:39Speaking of junior heavyweights, Master Watto getting the Sutenkaku German and getting the pin on Doki, the IWGP junior heavyweight champion.
07:48Master Watto backstage yesterday saying it will not look long before he challenges for the IWGP junior heavyweight championship.
07:55We'll see Master Watto coming up next eight-man action.
07:58Hontai against the House of Torture.
08:00Yasuda just about gets out the back door, makes the tag to Umino, and then caught up over the top rope.
08:06It'll be a triple main event tonight.
08:09Umino going full bore, though, in a preview of our semi main event in Adrian Arena Osaka.
08:17And the IWGP Tag Team Championships are going to be on the line.
08:20Nice.
08:21In a bad way as Umino rallies off blow after blow.
08:28And the little consistent gains that Umino has made over the last, well, I would say six months or so since he started teaming with Yuya Umu.
08:39Very, very evident.
08:40But can they beat the champions?
08:48Very little beating.
08:49Oscar's heavyweight power.
08:53Explodes out.
08:54One in the boot.
08:55Denied.
08:56Oy!
08:59And watch this.
09:00Straight into the STF.
09:05And the long limbs of Oscar coming to his aid there.
09:10He usually made the ropes.
09:12Umu coming inside.
09:17The combination of Umu and Umino were the first challengers to the Knockout Brothers.
09:24And their IWGP Tag Team Championship reigns back in October.
09:28And they were a new team then.
09:30Very, very fresh.
09:32Great individual competitors.
09:34Didn't have the communication and teamwork quite down to beat the Tag Team Champions at King of Pro Wrestling.
09:41The question is whether they have them now or a new beginning.
09:44Well, certainly not on that exchange as Oscar hung on.
09:47Umu and Urumura both crushing and burning here.
09:50And down to the double clothesline.
09:55And it will be Ice back in on Urumura.
10:10Ice versus Heat here.
10:12And Heat has been the tail in between Urumura and Utah Ice.
10:20Five years of bad blood.
10:23And Urumura knocked for a loop.
10:26He's dazed.
10:27Urumura is seeing stars.
10:28I think Ice had mind on a follow-up.
10:31And won't get it thanks to Urumura really being on Dream Street here.
10:36Or maybe.
10:38You know, playing possum.
10:39Rocked Ice with the forearms here to Urumura.
10:41But down to a knee.
10:43And the row of eight.
10:53Once a side suplex.
10:55And Ice hanging on.
10:56Best he can.
10:57And a knuckle to the forehead.
10:58It will break up that attempt for the time being at least.
11:02Nice barreled into the corner.
11:08And Daikinagai back in.
11:10Legal opposite Urumura.
11:12There he is.
11:16That backdrop he wanted.
11:21And Nagai caught a little bit of a break there.
11:23And got up in the mush of Urumura.
11:29Up next for Daikinagai and Mastori Asta potentially.
11:35Those two Young Lions leading the Young Lions set.
11:40And wanting to make their own breaks.
11:43Up through the ranks.
11:44Zane Jay certainly a contemporary of those two men.
11:46Did the same in his own way.
11:49When he joined United Empire in very forceful fashion.
11:52And there he turns the Boston Crab over.
11:55How much does Nagai have?
12:04Can he sit back down on Urumura?
12:06He can sit back down on Urumura.
12:08And not for long.
12:12And Heat Storm now to the bottom rope.
12:17And he went down on Urumura.
12:19He still wants in.
12:20And Mastori Asta wants in.
12:21But Urumura not in position to make the tag.
12:26And Mastori Asta wants in.
12:28But Uruwe not in position to make the tag.
12:29The right.
12:30Very admirably.
12:31No right, very admirably not letting him make the tag.
12:35Once a victory against a more established opponent,
12:38but taken down easily.
12:40Into...
12:42Oh, Hamlock there, Keylock is in.
12:49And Oskar knew the danger that Daikinagai was in there.
12:53Yeah, Oskar!
12:58He has to have punched up to Oskar, but he's gotten caught.
13:02That nightmare sleeper.
13:06Oskar caught eyes, Oskar caught eyes on Shota.
13:10And he raped over the top rope,
13:13and over the top rope goes the big man.
13:23Oskar Yelligan Payne came down quite sorely on the right knee,
13:27and in the meantime, the Dragon Riot takes down Daikinagai.
13:31Dragon Riot down goes Daikinagai,
13:33and it's a win for Umino and Urumuru at last.
13:42And for the first time that we've seen since Urumuru and Umino
13:46have won this IWGP Tag Team Championship opportunity in Oskar,
13:51the Challengers up over the Champions here tonight in Corcoran.
14:07Oh, nice!
14:11Umino!
14:15Getting a whole stop to it by Ice.
14:18Umino was...
14:19Distracted by Oskar and...
14:23Now Ice turned away by Umino.
14:25And Ice is fuming.
14:27Oh, it's got caught.
14:32Oh, it's got caught.
14:34Chota got caught.
14:35This is turning ugly here.
14:37This is going to be violent, no doubt about it.
14:52Nine days away.
14:53Oh, no!
14:54Oh, no!
15:01An ugly spell all the way through the barricade.
15:07When Ice, thanks to Urumuru, in the meantime,
15:10Chota being pulled away from Oskar.
15:15Spinning in the face of his challenger,
15:17even as he can't stand right now.
15:19Three, three, three, three, two, three, three, three, one, three!
15:27It will be a semi-main event, nine days time, new beginning in Oskar for the IWGP Tag Team Championships.
15:35Tonight might be the first time in a team situation that we've seen the challengers have the upper hand.
15:47And there is no doubt that the champions seem rattled.
15:50How dare we the off board?
16:13This is going to be something of fighting,
16:18Well, it's an impassioned start to the action here in Corcoran Hall.
16:29The last time, the NJPW Wild Cameras are picking up preview action
16:36on their own to New Beginning in Osaka February the 11th.
16:40Osaka, let's do it!
16:48Sota promising that they'll take the belts in Osaka, and we'll see if they can.
17:02It's going to be an incredible night.
17:04About a couple of dozen tickets, all that's left in Indian Arena Osaka.
17:12And from start to finish, we are going to see
17:18the shape of New Japan Pro Wrestling to come in 2026.
17:34We are going to see the next video!
17:42See you later.
