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.
