New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) began the Road to TOKYO DOME tour ahead of the two-night Wrestle Kingdom 15 event on January 4th and January 5th at the legendary Tokyo Dome in Miyagi, Japan. The matches continued at the Sendai Sunplaza Hall in Yamanashi, Japan in front of 897 fans. The crowd size was reduced due to the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus, 2019) pandemic.

The headline series match of the event saw the Bullet Club team of former six-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Guerillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga/Tanga Loa) [GOD] take on the Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ) team of Sanada/”The Dragon” Shingo Takagi.
