The G1 Climax tournament is the signature tournament for NJPW each year. It's a round robin heavyweight tournament and the winner earns a shot at the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom in January of next year.

Last year, the G1 tournament was won by Zack Sabre Jr. In a rare move, ZSJ opted to get his shot at the title earlier than Wrestle Kingdom and cashed in the opportunity in October. ZSJ defeated Tetsuya Naito to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and went on to defend that title successfully against Shota Umino at Wrestle Kingdom.

NJPW has not announced the talent block field for G1 Climax 35 at this time.
