NJPW Announces Best of the Super Juniors and World Tag League 2020
New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced that their last major tour of 2020 will host two tournaments concurrently. It will combine Best of the Super Juniors, their annual spring tournament for junior heavyweight wrestlers, and the World Tag League, a tag team tournament for heavyweights that usually takes place in the fall. Previously, Best of the Super Juniors had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic halting sporting events in Japan during the spring.
