#10 Juice Robinson and Hiroshi Tanahashi

Now this one will be an explosive duo, to say the least! A tag team featuring the current IWGP US Heavyweight Champion and the seven-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion and the G1 28 winner, Hiroshi Tanahashi.

In the past, both Tanahashi and Juice have teamed up with each other on several occasions, but as of right now, it is safe to say that both men are currently at the very top of their game, with Tanahashi conquering every single challenger in his path to G1 Climax glory. Whereas, a much more improved and developed Juice Robinson will be full of confidence after having captured the IWGP US Title from Jay White at the G1 Specials in San Francisco.

Both Juice and Tanahashi, in my opinion, are among two of the hardest workers in the NJPW roster today and their performances at the recent G1 Climax also speaks for itself. Therefore, expect the two men to put together a very strong and determined performance at the upcoming World Tag League.
