Usually, the winners of the World Tag League would get their shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions at the annual Wrestle Kingdom event on January 4 in the Tokyo Dome, but TMDK have opted to do something a little bit different heading into 2026. Instead of challenging the current champions, The Knock Out Brothers, at Wrestle Kingdom 20, Sabre Jr. announced that himself and Oiwa would take their shot at the champions the night after Wrestle Kingdom 20, with their IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match being set as the main event of the New Year Dash!!! show on January 5. Sabre Jr. explained that he wanted to make history by main eventing the NJPW event in post-Hiroshi Tanahashi landscape as the current NJPW President is set to have his retirement match at Wrestle Kingdom 20 against Kazuchika Okada.
