Sane and Asuka defeated Royce and Kay in a non-title match at today's WWE live event in Tokyo, Japan and per the stipulation, they have earned a future title shot. There's no word yet on when The Kabuki Warriors vs. The IIconics will take place for the titles, but we will keep you updated.

Triple H tweeted on the two moments and wrote, "An amazing night in #WWETokyo. A city I've performed in countless times with an incredible roster of @WWE Superstars. An honor to give Mr. Shinma his #WWEHOF Legacy Award and team with The Club. ...and if this was one of my last times to perform in Tokyo... it was #TooSweet."
