World Tag League 2020 features a number of returns as NJPW looks to heat up the heavyweight tag team division.\u00a0 The tournament will run alongside Best Of The Super Jr. 27 tournament to close out the year as we head toward Wrestle Kingdom.\u00a0 Let’s preview the action for World Tag League 2020<\/p>\n

The Favorites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The returning Guerillas Of Destiny go in as our favorites.\u00a0 The multi-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions have somehow never won the tournament and this year could mark their first as they would offer a fresh pair of opponents for the champions.\u00a0 FinJuice could very easily go back-to-back in tournament wins.\u00a0 Both men have spent the year away from Japan, this is Finlay’s return, and would also offer the champions a fresh pair of challengers.\u00a0 Depending on the identity of X the team representing The Empire may walk away with the win here.\u00a0 If it is the rumoured\u00a0Jeff Cobb\u00a0<\/strong>then we could see him and O-Khan win the tournament as The Empire continues to build their reputation.<\/p>\n

Outside Chance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Yoh<\/p>\n

Dangerous Tekkers have been featured prominently this year and could very well walk away with the win in World Tag League 2020 despite going in as champions.\u00a0\u00a0Shingo Takagi\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0SANADA\u00a0<\/strong>could win as neither has any clear plans for Wrestle Kingdom and an IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match would give them a big match.\u00a0\u00a0Hirooki Goto\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0YOSHI-HASHI\u00a0<\/strong>could also come away with the win as they have history with the champions.<\/p>\n

No Chance In Hell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a number of teams that are unlikely to win.\u00a0 HenarACE,\u00a0EVIL & Yujiro Takahashi<\/strong>,\u00a0Toru Yano & Tomohiro Ishii<\/strong>, and Bad Luck Fale & Chase Owens\u00a0<\/strong>either have a lower card member to take pinfalls for the team or aren’t pushed enough to warrant a tournament win.<\/p>\n
