NJPW also released the following statement regarding the Tag Team Turbulence:

"Tag team competition has been growing ever more fierce Friday nights on NJPW STRONG. After tournaments like Lion’s Break Crown, Super J-Cup and New Japan Cup USA have shone a light on young up and coming performers, junior heavyweights and openweight singles competitors respectively, it is now time for tag teams to have the spotlight, and Tag Team Turbulence is set to do just that. This July, Tag Team Turbulence will see eight teams compete for the right to be named the best duo on STRONG."

The Good Brothers left NJPW back in 2016 for WWE

In 2016, The Good Brothers departed New Japan Pro Wrestling for WWE and left Japan for the US. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows made quite an impact in WWE, winning the RAW Tag Team Championships and even accompanying AJ Styles as part of The OC.

Since leaving WWE, The Good Brothers have signed with IMPACT Wrestling and have also appeared in All Elite Wrestling on a regular basis. They are currently a regular fixture on AEW Dynamite. The former IWGP Tag Team Champions will now look forward to making a statement in NJPW.
