Professional Wrestling At The Tokyo Dome

The Tokyo Dome stadium in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan has hosted a number of professional wrestling supercard events over the years. These events often air on pay-per-view (PPV) or are recorded for a future television broadcast. New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) is the promotion which has held the most shows at the Tokyo Dome, including the very first professional wrestling event in the Dome – Battle Satellite in Tokyo Dome on April 24, 1989. NJPW also holds their annual January 4 Tokyo Dome Show event, currently promoted under the Wrestle Kingdom name – Wrestle Kingdom is considered NJPW's biggest show of the year, their version of WrestleMania. The first January 4 show, Super Warriors in Tokyo Dome, took place in 1992 and has been held each year since then. With night two of Wrestle Kingdom 15, NJPW has held a total of 55 shows in the Tokyo Dome.

WWE participated in two additional Tokyo Dome events, co-promoting WrestleFest and SuperWrestle with Super World of Sports (SWS) in 1991.
