entertainmentJun 17, 202645371

AEW used Wednesday's Dynamite to push the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, announcing that either Mark Briscoe or MJF will include a member of NJPW on their Forbidden Door team. The show opened with Kenny Omega facing Tony Nese as AEW built toward MJF's upcoming match with Zack Sabre Jr at Forbidden Door. AEW also teased reuniting the Continental and International championships and a further Wardlow push, even as some promoted Forbidden Door matches appear to include no NJPW or CMLL talent. Whether Briscoe or MJF actually brings NJPW talent matters because that choice will determine the event's cross-promotional stakes, team compositions, and title implications.
