Night two of NJPW Honor Rising ended with the Golden Lovers and The Young Bucks face-to-face.
Earlier today (Feb. 24), Kenny Omega and Kota ibushi took on Cody and Marty Scurll. This was the first time the Golden Lovers teamed up in two-on-two action in years. The former IWGP Junior Tag Team champions have enjoyed success as heavyweights. Omega and Ibushi scored the win when they hit Golden Trigger on Scurll.
Who Is The Best?
After the match, Omega grabbed a mic and said Golden Lovers are the best tag team in the world. The Young Bucks didn’t appreciate that and hit the ring to respond. Matt Jackson said he and his brother Nick are the best team in the world. He then announced that The Young Bucks are moving up to the heavyweight tag team division before saying he’ll see Omega and Ibushi around.
Backstage, Omega told the media that he and Ibushi have no problem facing The Young Bucks if that’s what they have to do to prove they’re the best tag team in the world. The seeds were planted for a move to heavyweight for The Young Bucks on a recent episode of “Being The Elite.” Cody told both men that they appear to be bulking up and need to think about the heavyweight division.
