New Japan Pro Wrestling has reversed course reports Strong Style Spirit, now recognizing the British Invasion's Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams as IWGP tag team champions. The announcement comes just under a week after New Japan invalidated the title win over Team 3D in a TNA Impact table match.
The Sun (UK) newspaper reported word that the original New Japan press release announcing the nullification of the title change was a mistake made by an overzealous staffer. Both New Japan and TNA now recognize British Invasion as IWGP tag champions.
In any event, Magnus and Williams will defend the IWGP belts at the TNA Hard Justice PPV this Sunday against former TNA tag champions Beer Money, Inc. Former IWGP tag champions Team 3D will in turn challenge Booker T & Scott Steiner for the TNA tag titles at the same event.

New Japan nullifies British Invasion's IWGP tag title win

New Japan Pro Wrestling announced Wednesday that it will not recognize the British Invasion's IWGP tag title win over Team 3D, reports Strong Style Spirit.
Brutus Magnus & Doug Williams had seemingly won the IWGP titles over Team 3D in a cluster of a tables match aired last week on TNA Impact. However, New Japan never authorized TNA's booking of the title change and as guardians of the IWGP titles have simply disregarded it.
Considering that the title match largely consisted of 3D attempting to fight off a six on two assault, it's not surprising that NJPW was displeased.
UPDATE: New Japan has reversed its decision, now recognizes British Invasion as IWGP tag champs.... more....
