Despite not tagging with each other on a regular basis since their recent reunion, Ibushi and Omega have had quite the impact on the entire NJPW scenario, with the latter also winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Dominion 6.9.
Having achieved almost everything in NJPW, Omega and Ibushi are still yet to enter the World Tag League alongside each other as part of The Golden Lovers duo and now that NJPW has the opportunity of booking the two men in the 2018 WTL, then the promotion shouldn't waste any further time and immediately insert both men into their debut WTL Tournament.
