World Tag League (NJPW)

The current format, introduced in 2014, is essentially identical to that of the G1 Climax, with the top-scoring team from two blocks of eight advancing to the final.

[5] "Young Simpson" may be a mistranslation; no data has been found other than being tag team partner of British wrestler Wayne Bridges.

[7] The 1985 IWGP Tag Title League featured 8 teams in a single block and was held from November 15 to December 12, 1985.

The 1987 Japan Cup Tag League featured 8 teams in a single block and was held from November 9, 1987 to December 7, 1987.

Due to a four-way tie for first place, the four teams were paired in the semifinals, with the two winners facing off in the final.

It strayed slightly from the standard formula; as there was a four-way tie for first place, all four teams advanced to a small single-elimination tournament to decide the 2000 G1 Tag champions.

Styles was sidelined with a back injury following November 24,[102] forcing him and Yujiro Takahashi to forfeit the rest of their matches.

The tournament winners advanced to an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 14.

The tournament winners advanced to an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 15.

The tournament winners advance to an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 16.

The tournament winners advance to an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 17.

The League featured the debut of Mogul Embassy's Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona (collectively known as Gates of Agony), CMLL's Zandokan Jr., Atlantis Jr. and Soberano Jr., Alex Zayne, former Young Lions Yuya Uemura, Yota Tsuji, Ren Narita and Ryohei Oiwa, Guerrillas of Destiny's Hikuleo and El Phantasmo (at the time holders of the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship), Bullet Club's Rogue Army member Jack Bonza and Pro Wrestling Noah's Kaito Kiyomiya.

The league featured the debut of Callum Newman, Hiromu Takahashi, Boltin Oleg, and Bullet Club Rogue Army members Stevie and Tome Filip (collectively known as The Natural Classics).

On December 6, it was announced that Henare suffered an injury on his right knee, forcing him and The Great-O-Khan to forfeit, not only their B Block match against Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi, but also their IWGP Tag Team Championships, leaving the January 4 bout and January 5 program with the Young Bucks uncertain.

Then was announced an impromptu Three Way Tag Team match to decide the winner of the B Block, that Naito and Takahashi won.

However, due to the situation around the IWGP Tag Team Championship, Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi won't have a title match, instead they will face each other at Wrestle Kingdom 19.

[160] Furthermore, Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi have been added to the IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Dynasty.
