#7 Killer Elite Squad

Since Suzuki Gun's return to NJPW in 2017, the team of Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer have been at the very top of their game, challenging for the IWGP Tag Titles and also winning it for the first time in almost three years after their massive win over War Machine and The Guerillas of Destiny last year.
