Jun and Rei Saito fought their way through both the semifinals and final to win the All Japan Pro Wrestling Real World Tag League on Sunday.

The twin brothers, who are the current AJPW World Tag Team Champions, defeated Kento Miyahara and Davey Boy Smith Jr. in the final to lift the trophies.

Earlier in the show, held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, the Saitos defeated Ryuki Honda & Ren Ayabe in their semifinal.

Miyahara and Smith Jr. progressed to the final by defeating Rising HAYATO & Yuma Anzai in their semifinal, which opened the event.

The Saito twins competed in sumo wrestling for several years, before joining the All Japan dojo in 2020. They debuted for the promotion in June 2021.

The Real World Tag League has a rich history stretching back to 1977, when Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr won the inaugural competition.
