Official G1 Climax Lineup

New Japan announced during their Dominion event the block layouts for their annual G1 Climax tournament. For those that do not know, G1 is a Round Robin style tournament, where every wrestler in the same block wrestles each other. The winners of their respective blocks then face each other in the finals. The winner of that match challenges for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at WrestleKingdom, which is the equivalent of New Japan’s Wrestlemania.
