Historically, the winner receives a shot at the IWPG Jr. Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom. If the current champion ends up winning, he typically decides who he would like to compete against at the January event.

The finals for the World Tag League will also be taking place on December 15. The round-robin tournament typically sees the winners receiving a shot at the IWGP Tag Team Championship at Wrestle Kingdom.
