#3 Tama Tonga
Tonga has been with NJPW since 2010 but has never challenged for a singles title.
Instead, Tonga has focused on procuring tag team gold. Tonga is currently is a double tag-team champion, holding the IWGP Tag Team Titles with his Guerrillas of Destiny partner, Tanga Loa and the NEVER Openweight Six-Man straps with Loa and Bullet Club OG teammate Taiji Ishimori.
Having successfully conquered the world of tag team wrestling, many ponder why Tonga hasn’t gone for solo glory. Simply because he’s not interested in it.
Tonga has always been about putting the group first over individual glory. He and Bad Luck Fale were not interested in winning this year’s G1, most of their bouts were DQ losses. Both men wanted to cause havoc and send a message.
With Jay White set to be the new ‘ace’ for Bullet Club OG, Tonga seems content to hang back and let the youngster shine.
