It was another short IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship reign for Roppongi<\/strong> 3K<\/strong> as SHO<\/strong> and YOH<\/strong> lost the titles to El<\/strong> Phantasmo<\/strong> and Taiji<\/strong> Ishimori<\/strong> at the New<\/strong> Japan<\/strong> Pro<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> Kizuna<\/strong> Road<\/strong><\/em> Day 3. This means Bullet<\/strong> Club<\/strong> know holds three sets of tag team titles with\u00a0The Guerrillas Of Destiny<\/strong>\u00a0 (Tama<\/strong> Tonga<\/strong> and Tanga<\/strong> Loa)<\/strong> already holding the IWGP tag team championships and the Ring<\/strong> Of<\/strong> Honor<\/strong> Wrestling<\/strong> (ROH<\/strong>) tag team championships. ELP won the titles for his team with CR2 (Canadian Revolution) on YOH but\u00a0Ryusuke Taguchi\u00a0<\/strong>came out to help Roppongi 3K from a post-match beating.<\/p>\n

El Phantasmo has already had a great run in his short time in NJPW, gaining accolades for his matches in the Best<\/strong> Of<\/strong> The<\/strong> Super<\/strong> Juniors<\/strong><\/em> tournament against Will<\/strong> Ospreay<\/strong>. ELP comes from Rev<\/strong> Pro<\/strong> in the UK as the British Cruiserweight champion and his addition to the Juniors division has rubbed Robbie<\/strong> Eagles<\/strong> the wrong way. In a backstage promo, ELP claimed that he would be gunning for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight tag team championships with former IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion, Taiji Ishimori, and that\u2019s exactly what happened. Bullet Club’s Eagles doesn\u2019t seem too pleased and may look for a partner of his own to take on the new champions. SHO really impressed in the Best Of The Super Juniors tournament as well so time will tell if the singles division is in Roppongi 3K\u2019s sights or if frustration is mounting from these quick title changes. For now though, El Phantasmo and Taiji Ishimori are your IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.<\/p>\n
