New Japan changes stance on tag titles

New Japan Pro Wrestling is now officially recognizing TNA’s British Invasion (Brutus Magnus and Doug Williams) as the 53rd generation IWGP Tag Team Champions. This is a change from last week when New Japan issued a statement saying they were not acknowledging the title change on Impact two weeks ago with The British Invasion defeating Team 3D to become the new IWGP Tag Team Champions and that 3D were still the reigning champions. While it isn’t known why the company changed their stance so quickly, the belief is that some outside pressure caused them to do so.
