Destruction is an annual professional wrestling event promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).

Destruction is currently held in late September as the first major event after the conclusion of the G1 Climax, with several matches at the event often stemming from previous matches in the G1 Climax.

Destruction also continues the road to the January 4 Dome Show, which starts at the G1 Climax.

Recently, Destruction events have not featured IWGP Heavyweight Championship matches, instead being headlined by matches either for another major title, such as the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, or for the Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate, which is the prize for winning the G1 Climax.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship matches are, instead, typically featured at King of Pro-Wrestling, which is held soon after in early October.
