Shōgeki: Impact

Kaisen: Outbreak (開戦~Outbreak~) was a professional wrestling event produced by the Wrestle-1 promotion (W-1), that took place on March 2, 2014, at Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan. For the event – W-1's first at Ryōgoku Kokugikan – the promotion collaborated with American promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), the first of two W-1/TNA joint events in 2014 (along with Bound for Glory).

The event was split into two parts; part one included four matches featuring exclusively Japanese wrestlers, and part two featured eight matches involving wrestlers from TNA. All in all, 14 wrestlers from TNA took part in the event, which featured three title matches, contested for the TNA World Heavyweight, TNA X Division and TNA World Tag Team Championships.

The event saw two titles change hands; in the first The BroMans (Jessie Godderz and Robbie E) captured the TNA World Tag Team Championship in a three-way match involving the defending champions The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) and W-1's Team 246 (Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo). In the second W-1's Seiya Sanada captured the TNA X Division Championship from Austin Aries. The main event saw Magnus successfully defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against W-1's Kai.

The event aired live in Japan on the NTV G+ channel. TNA would later in the year air the second half of the event as a One Night Only pay-per-view titled Global Impact Japan.
