With the four men beating the Bullet Club in a tag team match, the exciting pairing of Ibushi and Tana (two men who also lost their matches at The Dome) eventually challenged FinnJuice for the IWGP Tag Team Championship in the aftermath to the match.
The challenge definitely felt fresh and it certainly added factor to the fact that NJPW is indeed looking to strengthen their tag team division, as officials are letting two of the promotion's biggest star in the form of Ibushi and Tana challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
With the New Beginning Tour almost upon us, so expect FinnJuice to defend their gold straps against the newly formed duo of Kota Ibushi and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
