New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced the full cards for their upcoming Destruction shows.
The three-show event, which starts in Fukushima on September 10, then goes to Hiroshima on September 16 and end on September 24 in Kobe, follows the G1 Climax where title matches are usually made between the champion and the wrestler who beat them during the G1 tournament.
Every single title in New Japan will be defended at least once during the tour, except for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, which will be defended on every Destruction in a triple threat tag team match.
Below are the cards for the Destruction shows as well as the top two matches for the King of Pro Wrestling
