Yota Tsuji's tag partner has been confirmed.
At the NJPW New Japan Road event on November 19, Yota Tsuji revealed that his tag team partner for NJPW World Tag League 2023 will be CMLL's Zandokan Jr. Tsuji and Zandokan Jr. scored the win for Los Ingobernables De Japon in a ten-man tag team match against Just Five Guys.
NJPW then confirmed that Tsuji and Zandokan Jr. will team up for NJPW World Tag League 2023.
From NJPW:
A live event Sunday November 19 in Utsonimiya saw Just Five Guys battle Los Ingobernables De Japon- plus one, as Yota Tsuji declared that he would be bringing his World tag League partner to the fray. Not an LIJ pareja, but rather a friend Tsuji had made on excursion, and not an ‘X’ but a ‘Z’, the man turned out to be rising CMLL prospect Zandokan Jr.
Tsuji and Zandokan won the ten man bout, pinning TAKA Michinoku after an impactful double team called the Ankla (Spanish for ‘anchor’). Will that be the fate of the other World Tag League teams? The tournament gets underway tonight, live in English and free on NJPW World!
