This Sunday at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, either FTR or Jeff Cobb & Great-O-Khan will leave without tag team gold. It will be a triple threat winner takes all match, with the ROH & IWGP Tag Team Championships on the line, with Roponngi Vice as the third team. Ahead of this, Cash Wheeler & Jeff Cobb will meet tonight in singles action. Both men are 0-1 in singles matches within AEW, but tonight someone will even out their singles records. Cobb is a much more seasoned singles wrestler however, going deep into the 2021 G1 Climax – while Wheeler is more of a tag team specialist.
