NJPW World Tag League Results (12/7): Who Advanced To The WTL Finals?
The NJPW World Tag League continued earlier today with Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa defeating Toru Yano and Tomohiro Ishii in the main event. Coming into the show four teams were tied at 18 points with EVIL & SANADA and IWGP Tag Team Champions Guerrillas of Destiny picking up the big wins to advance to the WTL finals on December 9.
Unless Tonga and Loa win the finals, it's likely we'll see EVIL and SANADA receive a title shot at Wrestle Kingdom 13 against the current champions. Below are the full results:

The NJPW World Tag League Finals will take place on December 9. So far only two matches are known with Hirooki Goto defending the NEVER Openweight Championship against Kota Ibushi, along with the WTL finals (Guerrillas of Destiny vs. EVIL and SANADA). On the most recent Being the Elite, the Young Bucks gave a bit of a spoiler that they'd also be involved with the event.
