New NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions Crowned At New Japan Road
A title change at today's New Japan Road event
Jul 5, 2022
NJPW's New Japan Road tour came to an end today at Korakuen Hall with a title change.
House of Torture's EVIL, SHO, and Yujiro Takahashi defended the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championships in the main event of today's show against CHAOS' YOSHI-HASHI, Hirooki Goto, and YOH.
The House of Torture had been able to hold on to the gold so far due to interference but it was interference from CHAOS that paid dividends today as Toru Yano managed to trap EVIL, Dick Togo, and Yujiro Takahashi in a dog cage. This left SHO all alone and YOH picked up the win for the challengers following an assisted Direct Drive to his former Roppongi 3K tag team partner.
With today's win, House of Torture's reign ends after 241 days and four successful title defences. It also means YOSHI-HASHI and Hirooki Goto have the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Titles again, this time with YOH.
Goto and HASHI previously held the NEVER titles for 454 days in a trio with Tomohiro Ishii from August 2020 until November 2021.
