At NJPW's Sakura Genesis Event, SHO and YOH became the new IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions by beating the former champions in El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. This marks the fifth time for SHO and YOH as the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions.
This was the return match of YOH as he has been out of action since this past July due to a torn ACL. The match saw YOH get the pinfall victory after hitting a twisting brainbuster on Kanemaru. After the match, YOH said he wants a shot at the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship that is currently held by El Desperado.
