Production

Background

2024 is the first time since 2013 in which NJPW hold one event under the Destruction name. From 2007 to 2013, NJPW held one event per year, expanding to two shows in 2014 and to three shows in 2016.

Storylines

Destruction in Kobe will feature professional wrestling matches that will involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

On Night 15 of G1 Climax 34, Great-O-Khan defeated IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito to advance to the quarterfinals, O-Khan would later fail to advance to semifinals. After a multi-man tag team match between Los Ingobernables de Japón and United Empire on Night 16, which United Empire would win, O-Khan posed with the IWGP World Heavyweight title. A IWGP World Heavyweight title match between Naito and O-Khan was set for Destruction in Kobe.

On the final night of the G1 Climax, Yoshi-Hashi would pin the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion David Finlay in a 6-man tag team match. It was announced that Finlay will defend the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against Yoshi-Hashi in Kobe.
