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

Originally taking place on January 4th under previous names, since 2020, the show has expanded into a multi-night event, as it is considered the biggest event of the year for NJPW.[1][2]

The Wrestle Kingdom name debuted in 2007, and has become the most commonly used name for the January 4 Show ever since.
