Will Ospreay has a lot going for himself heading into AEW‘s Forbidden Door. He won the IWGP USA Heavyweight Championship at NJPW Dominion, has been booked like an absolute star on AEW television, and, with his Forbidden Door opponent, Orange Cassidy, officially set, he can finally start to prepare for what should be one of […]

Who will Jay White, the current IWGP World Champion, wrestle at the AEW/New Japan Pro Wrestling co-promoted Pay-Per-View Forbidden Door? Well, we know who it won’t be, as after being called out on Dynamite, White declared that neither “Hangman” Adam Page nor Adam Cole will be afforded a chance at his championship belt, suggesting that […]

Still riding high off his Double or Nothing win over “Smart” Mark Sterling and Tony Neese alongside fellow Hookhausen member Danhausen, Hook has yet to face another opponent on either AEW Dynamite or Rampage. Now granted, it’s not like Hook has been skirting opponents or anything; he’s been on Rampage consistently ever since and even […]

When news broke that Andrade El Idolo, Rush, and the Lucha Brothers were unable to perform at AEW‘s Forbidden Door due to tensions between AAA and NJPW, it put a minor damper on what is expected to be one of the most entertaining cross-promotional events, nay, Pay-Per-Views of the year. Gone were the Los Ingobernables […]

Well, with Forbidden Door ever approaching, and now that New Japan Pro Wrestling Dominion has concluded, there has been plenty of new match announcements on AEW programming, with the most recent bringing on an interesting stipulation. If you’ve been keeping up as of late, Best Friends/Roppongi Vice has been in a pretty violent feud with […]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, Tony Khan did it; after hinting at beef between the Best Friends/CHAOS collective and the United Empire in both AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling, the booking tandem of Gedo and TK have officially pulled the trigger one what might just be the most exciting match of […]

Two new matches have been made official for the AEW and NJPW pay-per-view Forbidden Door. According to Fightful, New Japan’s Will Ospreay will take on returning AEW star Orange Cassidy at the show. Ospreay recently defeated SANADA at NJPW Dominion at Osaka Jo Hall to win the vacated IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship. Cassidy, meanwhile, […]

By Adam Page’s own admission, he didn’t take into account that Kazuchika Okada, the then-IWGP World Champion he called out on the previous week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, could have lost the belt before Forbidden Door. He’s been out of New Japan Pro Wrestling for quite some time now, and, despite being very online, he […]

As the All-Atlantic Championship tournament plots along towards its inevitable conclusion, a four-way bout at Forbidden Door to decide the inaugural winner of AEW‘s newest championship, one of the more intriguing contests in Round 1 made its way onto Dynamite for the fans in attendance both in the arena and watching from home, Miro versus […]

When it was announced that Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi would take the ring together for a non-wrestling segment on AEW Dynamite, fans had to know that Tony Khan had something up his sleeve. Oh boy oh boy, as it turns out, “something up his sleeve” was a serious understatement. The segment started off relatively […]

Who will Will Ospreay wrestle at Forbidden Door? This has been a question plaguing wrestling fans since the leader of the United Empire made his debut on AEW television on Dynamite and will likely continue to do so until Tony Khan, Excalibur, or an on-roster talent officially makes an announcement one way or another. Though […]

Jurassic Express have been the AEW Tag Team Champions since January 5th, 2022, when they defeated the Lucha Brothers on an episode of Dynamite from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, to end their 122-day run. Though the decision to put the straps on a boy and his dinosaur were largely met with positive […]

It’s here; it’s finally here: NJPW has announced the participants in the 2022 G1 Climax, and it features a certain member of the AEW roster that should get fans hyped for the tournament indeed. No, it’s not Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, or any member of The Elite – much to the chagrin of fans the […]

AEW star Adam Cole loves The Bullet Club. Though he was only a member of The Club for a short while, as he signed with WWE early in the talent-share agreement between Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling, Cole has remained fiercely loyal to the faction since leaving NXT for AEW in 2021, […]

While AEW and NJPW’s joint event Forbidden Door has already announced and teased a multitude of dream matches, it would appear that fans will have to take at least a couple of names off of their fantasy bookings. After an early morning tweet from Andrade El Idolo, seemingly sarcastically thanking Lucha promotions CMLL and AAA […]

As the road towards Forbidden Door, the cross-promotional Pay-Per-View between AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling, inches closer and closer with each passing day, wrestlers in both promotions are scrambling to find opponents for what should be one of the most loaded cards in recent memory. Jon Moxley has a bout set with Hiroshi Tanahashi, […]

Jon Moxley is one match away from becoming the first two-time World Champion in AEW history. Sure, there have been multiple-time champions in the promotion before, with both Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page having both won the Tag Team Championship and the World Championship, and the trio of Cody Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, and Scorpio […]

Heading into Forbidden Door, there were two marquee matches that rose above the rest: Jon Moxley versus Hiroshi Tanahashi – which has now been confirmed – and “Hangman” Adam Page versus Kazuchika Okada versus maybe Adam Cole for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. The latter match, initially proposed by Page following his win over David […]

In case you somehow haven’t heard, the biggest show of the summer, Forbidden Door, is scheduled for later this month, with the biggest stars in AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling set to face off in all sorts of dream matches. We’ll probably see “Hangman” Adam Page and Adam Cole will be going against Kazuchika […]

The Forbidden Door is opening once again. After years of one-offs and short stints of visiting wrestlers, AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling will have their joint, very appropriately-named June Pay-Per-View in Chicago. Despite a string of injuries on AEW’s side of the card, this event should have plenty of dream matches and opportunities to […]

After literal days of anticipation, Will Ospreay and his United Empire stablemates, Aussie Open, officially made their debut in a fully sanctioned wrestling match on AEW television. That’s right, after charging the ring to attack the unlikely trio of Trent Beretta and FTR on Wednesday’s edition of Dynamite, Rampage viewers were treated to an awesome […]

Welp, it’s officially official: Will Ospreay has arrived in AEW. That’s right, after wrestling around the United States for much of the last year, delivering big-time bouts at Warrior Wrestling, West Coast Pro, and NJPW Strong, Ospreay has finally made his way to All Elite Wrestling, where a whole new world of matches suddenly come […]

And just like that, fans of AEW finally know who will represent the promotion at Forbidden Door in the main event bout to decide the promotion’s Interim World Championship: Jon Moxley. Yes, as if there was ever any doubt, the former World Champion, who won the belt against Chris Jerico in February of 2020 at […]

After turning in a fantastic win over David Finlay, Adam Page was handed a microphone to address his adoring AEW fans. “Hanger,” in his first in-ring appearance since losing the AEW World Championship, addressed the elephant in the room, his chances of earning a rematch, and the fact that there is, in fact, more than […]

When Trent Beretta took the ring at AEW Dynamite to lament his inability to celebrate Best Friends Day and to ask for another shot at the ROH Tag Team Championship, fans had to know it was just a matter of time before something was going to happen. First, it was the arrival of FTR, who […]

In the leadup to a seemingly inconsequential Dynamite match between Buddy Matthews and Pac, Tony Schiavone made an announcement few fans saw coming: AEW is debuting another new championship. Alright, cool, the promotion has been hinting at a trios title for years now; it’s good to see that it will finally be introduced. … except […]

It’s been roughly seven months since Kenny Omega graced an AEW ring. That’s a long time. He’s missed the entirety of his former tag team partner, “Hangman” Adam Page’s World Championship run, the TNT Championship seesaw of Sammy Guevara and Scorpio Sky, and the exit of “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, who was once a […]

Adam Cole is reportedly not expected to wrestle until AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling’s supershow, Forbidden Door, on June 26th. Cole is dealing with an injury after his victory over Samoa Joe to win the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament at Double or Nothing. Byran Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio stated during his radio show, […]
