5th Match: THE EMPIRE (Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan) (4-2) vs Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa) (4-2) 

A battle between two teams at eight points, THE EMPIRE’s collision with the Guerrillas of Destiny might not eliminate either team,

but could well make the journey very difficult.

So what to expect from this first time matchup?

G.o.D have performed well with their backs against the wall to get to eight points after some tough losses,

while O-Khan and Cobb have recently broken their own run of consecutive losses by beating EVIL and Yujiro Takahashi. Having already taken out Bad Luck Fale .

and Chase Owens, a in over G.o.D will compete their BULLET CLUB bingo card, and will add to their resume of wins over dedicated tag teams .

after their victory against FinJuice earlier in the tournament. NJPW Best Of The Super Jr 27

The sheer strength of this team has been a force to be reckoned with for everyone,

and the Guerrillas have their work cut out for them as they seek to break their World Tag League curse.

4th Match: FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) (4-2) vs CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano) (5-1) 

Though former tag team champions in their own right, few would have expected that Toru Yano .

and Tomohiro Ishii would be quite so effective in the World Tag League as to be the first team to ten points and thus firmly in control of their own destiny, but that is indeed the case.

A win tonight all but gives them a guaranteed place in the final on December 11, unless complex ties at 12 points can demote them to third. They’ll be looking to secure their spot to the best of their abilities tonight.  NJPW Best Of The Super Jr 27

On the other hand, FinJuice, buoyant after a victory against IWGP Tag Team Champions Dangerous Tekkers in Korakuen November 30 have recovered from a difficult 2-2 position to get to eight points and will not have any designs on stopping.

A win will let them join at minimum a three way tie at ten, and make the situation for Fukuoka’s last league matches Sunday all the more interesting.
