Production[edit]
Storylines[edit]
Destruction '07 featured nine 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.[4]
Event[edit]
The event featured outside participants from American promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), with whom NJPW had a working relationship at the time. In addition to Christopher Daniels, Rhino and Senshi, Ron Killings was also scheduled to wrestle at the event, but did not make the event.[1][3] The event saw Shinsuke Nakamura make his return to the ring after a shoulder injury, which had sidelined him since the previous August.[1][3] During the event, Dick Togo and Taka Michinoku successfully defended the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship against former four-time champions, Gedo and Jado, and Hiroshi Tanahashi successfully defended the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Hirooki Goto.[1][3]
