For the second straight year they have done it.

The 2018 World Tag League tournament winners EVIL and SANADA ran the gauntlet over the past two months to earn their IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 13 and the traditional match was slated to be champions versus the winners of World Tag League but instead the former IWGP Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks were added to this match and as a result the bout was converted into a Triple-Threat tag team match between the two aforementioned teams and the Guerrillas Of Destiny.

There were points throughout the match that Tama Tonga who has claimed he's turned over a new leaf did not attack either of The Young Bucks. That came to an end once the action started to boil down and Fale and Jado who were on the outside got involved.

It was the combination of the "Skull End" and "Everything Is EVIL" to Matt Jackson that earned EVIL and SANADA their second consecutive IWGP Tag Team Titles win at Wrestle Kingdom and that adds more gold to the Los Ingobernables de Japon trophy case as BUSHI and Shingo Takagi captured the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Titles earlier in the night.
