Introducing all eight teams participating in the "Victory Challenge Tag League", which will be held from February 24th at Yokohama Radiant Hall to March 10th at Kumamoto Castle Hall! 

Which team will win this league? 

Introduction of participating teams

ULKA SASAKI & TAKASHI SUGIURA

Ulka makes his first appearance in a league just two and a half months after making his professional wrestling debut. 

He will compete with Takashi Sugiura, the senior who served as his opponent in his debit match, and who has since teamed up with him. He has participated in all shows, including in the countryside, and is evolving at an astonishing speed, learning new moves and techniques one after the other. Along with Sugiura, who boasts the most GHC Heavyweight tag title reigns (nine times), what kind of "evolution" will he show during the league? 

MANABU SOYA & SHUJI KONDO

Soya, who rose to prominence at Ariake Arena on January 2nd at the beginning of the year, has entered in a tag with Shuji Kondo. They are a senior/junior combination from the International Budo University (IBU), and they also participated in the W-1 Tag League during their WRESTLE-1 era in 2019. Kondo is the junior, and the duo is now reunited in the VC Tag League, which includes random combinations. Kondo has the King Kong, and Soya has the Ballistic. They have a strong lariat combination too. 

During their W-1 era, the team had a strong hierarchical relationship, but what will happen this time? 

REAL (Saxon Huxley & Timothy Thatcher) 

REAL are the monster duo.

Their conduct is monstrous, but the balance between Saxon's power and Thatcher's technique is beautiful. Although they lost the GHC Tag Team Championship last September, they are always in an excited state, jumping up and down and honing their wildness even further. Above all, they lost the belts to the current champions, Jack Morris and Anthony Green, and there is no doubt that they are more anxious than usual to get revenge and regain the belts. 

LOS GOLPEADORES (Alpha Wolf and Dragon Bane)

The Lucha brothers, Los Golpeadores, boast an amazing combination of moves with a stir rate of 100%. Last year, they where leaders in the Junior Tag Team Championship, but this year they also challenged for the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. Although unfortunately they lost to the current champions, Morris and Green at the February 4th Sendai show, they once again showed off their world class abilities in a fierce fight in a "best bout" class. Immediately afterwards they entered the Tag League, this time aiming for the quickest revenge match and the championship.
