The matches were announced for the upcoming junior tag league as well as the GHC Tag belts will be in defense on 7/16 as Marufuji and Yano defend against Nakajima and Kitamiya.

The full event cards were released for the July tour of shows which will feature the "10th annual NTV G+ Cup Contention Junior Heavyweight Tag League as well as a couple title defenses.

First up the GHC Tag belts will be in defense of the opening day of the tour as Naomichi Marufuji and Toru Yano defend against "The Aggression" Katsuhiko Nakajima and Masa Kitamiya. The former Kensuke Sasaki students have been building themselves up as a worthy team in NOAH as they look to take the next steps with holding a set of belts. The champion team, as odd as it may be, have proven twice now that their win was not a fluke after all, as they look to further go down a path and eliminate Suzuki-gun from the promotion once and for all. Also on the 7/16 show, Kiyomiya will finally receive his singles match against the veteran Minoru Suzuki. Kiyomiya won the right to challenge Suzuki after the last Suzuki-gun show in June and also secured his first ever singles win, which he followed up with another one as well, in July as well. This will be the ultimate test for the young rookie.

This will be a short tour which focuses on the junior tag league throughout, but will culminate with the finals of the league on July 31. This of course will join the previously announced GHC Heavyweight title match between Go Shiozaki and Takashi Sugiura.

Also to note Marufuji and Nakajima will not be competing for most of this tour as they are in the New Japan G1 CLIMAX during that time.
