- NJPW Announcer Kevin Kelly noted the World Tag League bracket should be out fairly soon. The tournament is scheduled to run from November 17 until December 9, but won't include The Young Bucks. Matt Jackson noted in the replies that "we're too busy and they don't pay enough." After being called out about the money, Jackson followed up that "Truthfully, we were never even offered the tour. But yes, it wouldn't make sense to leave our families for close to four weeks during the holidays for many reasons; finances only being one amongst many." The World Tag League features teams from the heavyweight division, which Matt and Nick moved up to back in February.
I can't wait for the #njwtl blocks to be released. I am guessing Monday. My way too early prediction? #BestFriends

I think @MattJackson13 and @NickJacksonYB won't be in it due to the hectic schedule that comes along with it. They probably have other dates but would love them to be in their first WTL, nevertheless.
