Rey de Parejas


The Rey de Parejas is a professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by Dragongate. It was created in 2003 by Toryumon Japan to determine the strongest tag team of the promotion. In 2004, after Último Dragón left Toryumon with the name and trademarks associated, the Toryumon Japan roster and staff formed Dragon Gate and a second Rey de Parejas tournament was held to establish the inaugural Open the Triangle Gate Championship as a spiritual successor to the UWA World Trios Championship.
From 2007 to 2016, the tournament was held as the Summer Adventure Tag League. In 2011, it was held as a single-elimination tournament under the name of Summer Adventure Tag Tournament. In 2012, the tournament featured trios instead of tag teams. In 2023, the tournament was revived as the Rey de Parejas once again.
The tournament is held under a points system, with 2 points for a win, 1 for a time limit draw, and 0 for a loss, no contest or double decision. The two top-scoring teams in each block advance to a single-elimination playoff to determine the winners of the Rey de Parejas.

2008

The second edition of the Summer Adventure Tag League was held from August 9 to August 28, 2008. The tournament featured the same format as the previous year, with one fewer team. On the opening day, held at Korakuen Hall, the steel structure of the ring broke during the first match. The ring was dismantled and a wrestling mat taped to the floor without ropes was used for the remainder of the event, as the ring crew was unable to repair it on site and it was deemed too dangerous.
