Last month, Los Ingobernables' leader Tetsuya Naito began to tease a new addition to the stable. With Hiromu Takahashi on the sidelines due to a neck injury -- and at the Time Bomb's urging -- it was revealed at King of Pro-Wrestling that Shingo Takagi was the newest Ingobernable member.

Dubbed "The Dragon" by Naito, Takagi got his start and has spent nearly his entire career with Japan's Dragon Gate promotion. There he’s held countless titles on multiple occasions including the company's top prize. His often selfish attitude and no nonsense demeanor is a seemingly perfect fit for the dastardly LIJ group. Takagi proved himself a valuable addition at King of Pro-Wrestling when he scored the win for his team following a fisherman driver on SHO of Roppongi 3K.

During the post-match conference, LIJ's BUSHI stated that he and Shingo have set their sights on conquering the upcoming Super Jr. Tag League. If the new duo are successful in their quest, they will receive a shot at El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru's titles come 4 January in the Tokyo Dome.
