If you thought the card for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door was looking good before, the fully revealed lineup is on another level entirely. What is taking place at the O2 Arena in London is not just another pay-per-view; it is a monumental, can’t miss event loaded with dream matches, huge championship clashes, and a war inside a steel cage that defies belief. This card is absolutely insane from top to bottom.
Championship Gold on the Line
The night will feature several high stakes championship encounters. In the main event, AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page faces his ultimate rival, MJF. Elsewhere, the newly minted AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada will defend his title against the formidable Swerve Strickland.
The women’s division is set for a massive night. AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will go one on one with the dominant ROH Women’s Champion, Athena. And in a truly international affair, TBS Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné defends her title in a four way match against the UK’s Alex Windsor, a top star from CMLL, and a representative from Stardom.
An Unfathomable 10-Man War
Words can hardly do this match justice. In a Lights Out Steel Cage match, it will be a 10-man war. On one side, you have a dream team of legends and high flyers: Darby Allin, Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Kota Ibushi. They will step inside the cage to face the combined might of The Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli), Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks. This is a recipe for pure, unadulterated chaos and is guaranteed to be a violent spectacle.
