    AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door To Mainly Have NJPW vs. AEW Matches

    This past Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan would make a major announcement… with the help of Adam Cole. NJPW & AEW are set to run a huge joint PPV tonight later this year, known as Forbidden Door. Coming on Sunday, June 26th at the United Centre in Chicago, this show quickly drew comparisons to when NJPW & ROH ran Madison Square Garden – but this show will be built differently.

    NJPW & AEW To Mainly Run Cross Promotional Matches At Forbidden Door

    Back in 2019 when ROH & NJPW united to run the ‘World’s Most Famous Arena’ together, there was very little overlap with the rosters. Generally speaking, ROH had their matches – and NJPW had theirs. Only two matches had overlap, with Jeff Cobb taking on Will Ospreay with both the ROH World Television & NEVER Openweight Championships on the line, and a four way tag team match for both the IWGP & ROH World Tag Team Championships.

    Beyond those matches, it was a card that was split into two essentially. Forbidden Door is not set to work like this. It will instead be focused around cross promotional matchers – meaning the big names of NJPW will clash with the big names of AEW.

    Potential matches are already brewing, with fans speculating that Jay White will challenge Hangman Page on this night for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Will Ospreay will also be looking for a rematch with Jon Moxley, and Forbidden Door will be the perfect time for this.

    CM Punk vs. KENTA Is All But Confirmed Already

    While White vs. Hangman is mainly fan speculation – another match is being built by two men. KENTA has been wanting a shot at CM Punk for years, ever since Punk started using the Go To Sleep in WWE – a move which KENTA innovated. This is an incredibly easy match to build and sell fans on, as people have wanted to see it for years now.

    Right now KENTA is waiting to return from injury, after a brutal hardcore match with Hiroshi Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom left him battered and broken. CM Punk meanwhile is starting to take aim at the AEW World Heavyweight Champion – Hangman Page.

    What matches would you like to see on Forbidden Door? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
