01:08first time appearance for Blake Christian since Best of the Super Junior
01:121 year ago
01:13Banela Baby is in the building
01:35It has only been a matter of months since we last saw Kyo
01:40Invest of the Super Junior 33 in this year
01:42But ever since then Kyo has reunited with his beloved M.Y.O.
01:47the beautiful leopard in the hand of Yo has been a great motivator
01:51Over the course of Tag Team Tournament action
01:54Over at Dragon Gate as of recent
01:55But Yo has also recaptured the Dragon Gate
01:58Opened the Triangle Gate title
02:00alongside His love and peace brothers and Jackie Kamei
02:04and Irita
02:06It is Yo that will be teaming alongside
02:08IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Yoh
02:14A promise that was made back to Best of the Super Junior this year
02:18A kiss to seal the deal
02:20And it is Yoh and Yoh
02:22We'll make their Super Junior Tackling debut
02:25The 100th Triangle Gate Champion
02:29Nehiyohchan's lover
02:32H
03:23music
03:29It is the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Yo
03:35coming off of his fourth defense in a short period of time
03:40defeating Robbie Eagles back in Ryogoku Sumo Hall
03:43Just a Davidmy back
03:44now it is Yo who fulfills a promise
03:47that was sealed with a kiss
03:48back to the best of the Super Junior Tournament
03:50to team with the Dark Leopards
03:53Junior Heavyweight Champion
03:55Direct Drive Yo!
04:16Well, if we were awarding points for Strange,
04:19it would be Yo and Hyo who would have already called this tournament a done
04:24and this is certainly going to be one of the more shocking teams I feel we're set to see
04:31Dragon Gate open the Triangle Gate Champion
04:35alongside Love and Peace is Yo, 2025 NJPW Concorso Bodybuilding Contest winner as
04:41well
04:43looking to take home a trophy for the first time in his New Japan Pro Wrestling tenure
04:49trophies that Yo has captured not once, not twice, but thrice in his career
05:04We know that Blake Christian certainly is one for the leather
05:09maybe not the leather belonging to Hyo though
05:12thank you, thank you, thank you
05:13Thank you, thank you
05:13Thank you
05:13Thank you, thank you
05:14Thank you
05:17Vanilla Baby and Big Shotty Blake Christian and Lee Johnson who are making their Super Junior
05:23Tag League debut and I'm sure that Blake Christian has done much to prepare
05:26Lee Johnson for the battle of a quick-paced tournament like Super Junior Tag League has tended to be
05:34be it Blake Christian making his first entry into the tournament as well
05:43Lee Johnson and Hyo kicking off the action here tonight and immediately Hyo calling upon these people
05:54Many fans of the Leopard here tonight in Kumagaya
06:00Let's talk a little bit about Blake Christian and Lee Johnson
06:03these two men were having middling success as single stars over in Ring of Honor and AEW
06:08some big opportunities, some finals over in tournaments for championships over in that neck of the woods
06:13but ever since uniting for the first time at AEW Revolution 2025
06:18you saw the makings of what would want to be an incredible pair and an even better trio alongside
06:23Jay Lethal
06:25holding the Ring of Honor World Six Man Tag Team Championship
06:29won the titles not too long ago, currently reigning with them and recently defended those championships just one month
06:35ago
06:35against the Dark Order, Alex Reynolds and John Silver
06:39back at Ring of Honor on Honor Club in Jacksonville, Florida
06:44and while Lee Johnson and Blake Christian have high designs of bringing those Super Junior Tag League trophies
06:51all the way to the lands of all elite wrestling and Ring of Honor
06:55I think that Hyo is a little bit more focused on something else tonight
07:05You know Hyo to be a great Leopard, I think Lee Johnson has more of the dog in
07:09him so to speak
07:12That dog alongside Pitbull and Blake Christian as well
07:15It is a little bit too old we're talking about here as Hyo is on the chase
07:19and take a look here, single leg drop kick
07:22Managing to take it down, a big shotty
07:29And here we go Hyo on the run now
07:32Go!
07:38Well, you know whatever works for you I guess
07:43This is what I'm talking about here folks
07:45A lot of people may think that Hyo isn't taking this opportunity seriously in Super Junior Tag League
07:51First time ever in his career
07:52But I think much like you've seen from Hyo as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion
07:57Styles make fights
07:58And if it's a style that your opponent cannot predict
08:01Then you're gonna have a very tough time inside that ring
08:12Hyo is not too pleased with the cat inside Blake Christian
08:17Let's talk about the success Blake Christian has had in pro wrestling rings all across the world though
08:21A former GCW World Champion reigned for nearly a year
08:26Listen to this statistic here folks
08:2842 straight defenses for Blake Christian at one of the top independent organizations in North America
08:34That's a hell of a claim
08:35And that is certainly something that won the eyes of ring of honor in AEW management
08:39And something that aided in his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut
08:43Back in Best of the Super Junior within the past few years
08:47Now to bring alongside a great tag team fighter in Lee Johnson
08:51Doing the best work of either man's careers right now are the swirl
08:57Let's see if Blake Christian is gonna be able to outclass Hyo though
09:00As I had a conversation with Blake Christian earlier on in the night
09:03I said hey how do you feel about stepping in the ring with the junior heavyweight champion
09:07The Best of the Super Junior winner this year
09:09And Christian said plainly
09:10Hey Yo only won Best of the Super Junior this year
09:13Because I wasn't able to be in the tournament
09:15I had other commitments in all elite wrestling and ring of honor
09:18And Blake Christian feeling all the confidence in the world
09:22Heading into this block B matchup in Super Junior Tag League
09:33Blake Christian out and underneath here on Hyo
09:35And Hyo looking to try and do the damage as well
09:37Hyo to the outside
09:39Oh got that boot in does vanilla baby
09:41And Hyo able to follow up with one of his own
09:47I don't like where we're taking this one so much for love and peace
09:50All the way to the outside of the ring and onto the apron
09:53Blake Christian has this one in a shaky way
09:55And it is Hotel Johnson
09:57Wait a girl
09:57Saving Blake Christian on the run up
09:59Super kick and a spear from Blake Christian
10:03Look at the swirl working in tandem combination
10:07And these two men are ready to fly
10:12Johnson and Christian through the sky
10:23Big shotty for a reason here folks
10:25You miss every single one that you don't take
10:28Lee Johnson is here to take shots at
10:30Hyo and Hyo and
10:32Oh Myon Myon for that much
10:35This is the first time that
10:37A member of the Super Junior Tag League
10:40Or Best of the Super Junior Tournament rather
10:42Has targeted Myon Myon at ringside
10:45That's something that's often phased as a distraction for Hyo in his matches
10:49Man who claims this stuffed lover to be the absolute lovers of his life
10:54Now Blake Christian I'll be honest with you
10:58Has never felt love the way that Hyo has from Myon Myon
11:04The love Blake Christian has is when he looks inside that mirror
11:07And right now Lee Johnson looking to echo those sentiments
11:11Putting the shot right into the back of the
11:13Open the Triangle Gate champion in Dragon Gate
11:15That's Hyo
11:21Ring of Honor World six man tag team champions
11:24You have to know that Jay Lethal is watching on
11:26From the comfort of his home in the United States
11:29Lee Johnson and Blake Christian putting their best work here on the evening
11:32Tag in the corner
11:33Big shotty out Vanilla Baby back in
11:39Oh
11:39Look at this Blake Christian putting his own claws right into the chest of Hyo
11:45I really appreciate Blake Christian's approach to this match up here tonight folks
11:50Really wants to fight this one the way that
11:52In my eyes Hyo would really appreciate
11:55I think Hyo loves digging his claws into the backs of his opponents
12:01I think Blake Christian though
12:02Going to dig into Marty Asami as well
12:04Not the first person to want to do that
12:18Tag in the corner here Blake Christian out and Lee Johnson back into the fight
12:23Keep your eye on big shotty here capable of a lot of great things inside this ring
12:28And maybe looking to pull out things we've never seen before
12:31As the swirl working in tandem
12:34There's the drop kick for shotty cover again
12:37Broken up there by the junior heavyweight champion
12:38I think it shocked a lot of people to
12:43To not see Hyo teaming alongside Master Watto in this year's Super Junior Tag League tournament
12:48The way we saw back in 2025
12:50But uh
12:52Meanwhile it looks like Hyo is looking to extend a tag not from himself but from Myo My
12:57o
12:58That may be just enough power that Hyo may need to fight back into this contest
13:08That's Hotel Johnson
13:10Great technique great fundamentals out of this athlete
13:14And Lee Johnson taking this one right over the top
13:17And Hyo back on the inside
13:20Bouncing cutter
13:22From the triangle gate champion
13:29Tag in the corner here comes the IWGP champion
13:32And Hyo is looking to make a way
13:35Through the swirl Blake Christian and Lee Johnson wants more
13:38It's the New Japan Pro Wrestling debut of Lee Johnson
13:41And he's got to be able to put up big results or impressive fight
13:44If he wants to be able to stay alive in this year's Super Junior Tag League
13:53Lee Johnson had that shot caught there by Hyo
13:55Hyo is looking to bring Johnson into his own world for the first time ever
14:04Not often that you see Lee Johnson tied up like this on Ring of Honor
14:09That paradise lock locked in here for Hyo
14:16Oh
14:20Hyo may have a keen interest in
14:23Taking the leopard approach tonight as well
14:26Cover again
14:27Two count once more on Big Shoddy
14:40Lee Johnson has got to find a way to battle back into this contest
14:43It's our semi main event of the evening
14:45The first ever tag team appearance for the swirl
14:48And immediately
14:49It is Blake Christian and Lee Johnson back into the fold here
14:52Oh, striking in combination here of the swirl
14:56Let's see what these men can pull out tonight
14:59Right over the top and Christian
15:01Whoa, malfunction at the junction
15:03Yeah, Lee Johnson trying to stay right on the attack
15:06Back into the corner, here comes Kill with the tag
15:09And the leopard is on the loose here tonight
15:11And Kumagaya
15:14Has poetry in motion here for Yo and Hyo
15:18And the leopard, oh, up with the insecurity there on Lee Johnson
15:21Johnson's rolling to the outs
15:2510 minutes have passed, we have a 30 minute time limit
15:29In this Block B game
15:30Here on at JPW World
15:35Blake Christian is fighting against
15:37Well, a man and an animal inside that ring
15:39And I'm not sure who's who at any given moment
15:41There's Vanilla Baby off the ropes once more
15:46Does not like whips, does not like chains
15:48But it's going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place here
15:51And Blake Christian tripped up here in the
15:53Oh, good lord, this is a
15:55Not at all where Christian wants to find himself
15:59Yes, here we go for Hyo
16:01DDT!
16:04From Hyo on Christian
16:07One, two, three
16:10Still not enough to put down the Ring of Honor World
16:12Six Man Tag Team Champions
16:14Come on, they go down
16:19Yo and Hyo have this match completely
16:22Within their rights, within their domain
16:26All to try and find the victory here as Hyo
16:29Has Christian on the shoulders
16:30Lee Johnson though with an interception
16:33On the IWGP Junior Champion
16:35And here comes the Triangle Champion
16:37Looking to do major damage to Blake Christian
16:40Down to the back, up to the feet
16:43The Dark Leopard is looking to roar here tonight
16:46And Kuma Gaya
16:52Watch this one here Hyo is looking to take Blake Christian from the top
16:55And I have no idea
16:57What Hallow could be looking for
17:00Christian slips out the back though
17:01And Lee Johnson, that was a targeted shot from the back of the knee
17:07And watch the swirl in operation
17:10Wait a minute, wait a minute
17:11Here comes Yo, here comes Yo
17:12Right over the top here
17:14What the hell is this?
17:16Wow!
17:17Christian held the target, Johnson struck
17:19Hiya!
17:22And Christian moves home to the outside
17:25Here we go, it's that double stop Spicoli Driver
17:30The swirl, the swirl
17:32Spicoli Driver for the Windows
17:35This one's done, two points up
17:38For Blake Christian and Lee Johnson tonight
17:52The debut of the swirl in the tag team division
17:57In New Japan Pro Wrestling
17:59And by God, what a way to make a statement
18:03Double stumps Spicoli Driver for the win
18:08Blake Christian and Lee Johnson have made a hell of a mark
18:13Tonight in the meaning of night
18:16Of Super Junior Tag League 2026
18:24We're certainly set to see a lot more of Yo and Hyo
18:28As well as the swirl over the course of the next four matches
18:31For all members
18:33But of course wrestling fans who are going to see Yo and Hyo go two on two
18:37With House of Torture, Dick Togo and Sho
