By Andrew Pollard / June 4, 2023

Today's NJPW Dominion has seen the entrants announced for this year's G1 Climax... and there are a couple of particularly notable names included.

Likely the biggest headline surrounding the 2023 G1 Climax is the news that AEW's Eddie Kingston will be a part of the tournament this year. Similarly, NOAH's Kaito Kiyomiya - who memorably clashed with Kazuchika Okada earlier in the year - is another intriguing name for the G1.

With a total of 32 participants, this year's G1 Climax is the biggest ever edition of the tourney, with, as is customary, the overall winner earning a shot at the IWGP World Championship at next year's Wrestle Kingdom.

Spanning a total of 19 events, the G1 Climax will run from 15 July through until 13 August.

The full list of entrants for G1 Climax 33 reads as follows:
