Storyline Context — Fresh Angle Right After G1 Climax & Forbidden Door
G1 Climax 35 concluded on August 17, 2025, crowning either Konosuke Takeshita or EVIL as the winner—determining the next challenger for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 20.
Forbidden Door then took place a week later. Now, Destruction in Kobe presents a fresh post-tournament platform—ripe for storyline momentum.
Angle suggestions:
The G1 Climax winner (Takeshita or EVIL) could launch their title chase here—face the current IWGP World Champion.
Tournament standout (Yota Tsuji, Zack Sabre Jr., etc.) could be spotlighted with meaningful singles or tag bouts, building toward them.
“House of Torture” drama continues—if EVIL won, he—plus HoT—can dominate the undercard or mid-card.
Rising stars (like Tsuji or Shota Umino) can carry momentum from G1 into headline status.
