AEW and NJPW are holding another Forbidden Door event on June 25th, and the pro wrestling world can’t wait to see what the two companies come up with. It appears that they might include even more stars.
According to Sean Sapp behind Fightful’s paywall, “there’s a possibility that Stardom could be a part of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.”
Fightful Select has learned that Stardom and All Elite Wrestling have had conversations about the possibility of integrating Stardom talent into the highly anticipated Forbidden Door show. Those that we’ve spoken to from both sides indicated there have been some hurdles, but specifically Toni Storm was mentioned as a name for a Stardom talent to face.
We’ve been told that one of the main talking points is what Stardom talent would be available, as the company has their own show that same weekend. There have been discussions as to how to make it work, and it has been indicated to Fightful that it’s something All Elite Wrestling is hoping to make happen if they can pull it off.
It was also noted that, “there were conversations with Stardom in 2022 for a similar booking. In the end, Thunder Rosa ended up facing Toni Storm instead.”
They already booked Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega will defend the IWGP United States Title against Will Ospreay. We will have to see who comes out on top of that match.
Keep checking back with Ringside News for more on this story, and many others in the pro wrestling world.
