Destruction in Okayama (2014) was a

championship.[1] It was the ninth event under the Destruction
name.

Due to

Ustream getting out of the PPV business,[3] Destruction in Okayama was the first NJPW PPV in two years that was not available internationally.[4]

Storylines

Destruction in Okayama featured ten professional wrestling matches that involved 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.[5]

Originally announced top matches of the event saw

Yoshi-Hashi.[9] This change came as a result of Yoshi-Hashi leading the Chaos stable to a win over their rival Bullet Club stable in a ten-man elimination tag team match on September 5, scoring the last elimination over Takahashi.[11]

Event

In the first title match of the event, the Time Splitters made their second successful defense of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against El Desperado and Taichi. Post-match, the champions were challenged by both the

Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate against Karl Anderson. Following his win, Okada named Tetsuya Naito, the other man who had defeated him during the 2014 G1 Climax, as his next challenger.[1][15]
