Max Bump was a recurring professional wrestling event held annually by DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) from 2001 to 2023. It was originally held from 2001 to 2019 by DDT as an independent promotion, and then by CyberFight from 2021 to 2023 as a DDT branded event. It was usually held around the holidays of the Golden Week, between April and May. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the event moved from Tokyo to Yokohama and was renamed Mega Max Bump.

From 2001 to 2019, Max Bump was produced by DDT Pro-Wrestling, an independent promotion founded in 1997 by Shintaro Muto and Pro Wrestling Crusaders alumni Kyohei Mikami, Kazushige Nosawa and Sanshiro Takagi.[1] In 2020, DDT and its subsidiaries merged with Pro Wrestling Noah into a new company called CyberFight owned by the digital advertising company CyberAgent, with DDT and Noah persisting as separate brands under the CyberFight umbrella.[2] Max Bump was then held in 2021 as a DDT branded event, then in 2022 and 2023, it was renamed Mega Max Bump and held at the Yokohama Budokan.
