Destruction in Kobe (2014) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) promoted by New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). The event took place on September 21, 2014, in Kobe, Hyōgo at the Kobe World Memorial Hall. The event featured ten matches, three of which were contested for championships. It was the eighth event under the Destruction name and the final NJPW internet pay-per-view broadcast internationally by Ustream.

Destruction in Kobe featured ten 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.

Originally announced top matches of the event saw Kushida defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Ryusuke Taguchi, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Katsuyori Shibata face off in a 2014 G1 Climax rematch and Bad Luck Fale make his first defense of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against previous champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura had defeated Fale during the 2014 G1 Climax, taking himself to the finals and eliminating Fale from the tournament. On September 8, NJPW announced that a match between Bullet Club's Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson and Chaos' Kazuchika Okada and Yoshi-Hashi would be contested for the former's IWGP Tag Team Championship, instead of being the non-title match it was first announced as. This came as a result of Yoshi-Hashi leading Chaos to a ten-man elimination tag team match win over Bullet Club on September 5, after which he challenged Yujiro Takahashi to a match for his NEVER Openweight Championship, while Okada added his own IWGP Tag Team Championship challenge to Gallows and Anderson.
