If you love big‑match wrestling mash‑ups, you’ve probably heard of AEW Forbidden Door. It’s the event where AEW and other promotions, especially NJPW, smash their rosters together for epic bouts you won’t see anywhere else. This page gives you the low‑down on what Forbidden Door is, what’s happened recently, and what to watch for next.

What Makes Forbidden Door Special?

Forbidden Door isn’t just another pay‑per‑view. It’s a chance for stars from different companies to finally meet in the ring. Think of it as a sports crossover game where a basketball star faces a football player – the excitement is off the charts. Fans get dream match‑ups, surprise returns and storyline twists that can change the direction of a wrestler’s career.

Since the first event in 2022, the concept has grown. AEW brings its high‑octane, American‑style action, while NJPW adds strong style strikes and a deep respect for tradition. The blend creates a unique atmosphere that feels both fresh and familiar.

Recent Highlights and Results

Last year’s Forbidden Door delivered a handful of moments that are still being talked about. The showdown between Kazuchika Okada and Jon Moxley was a brutal, back‑and‑forth battle that showcased both technical skill and raw power. Moxley’s victory earned him a huge pop from the crowd and set up a feud that spilled over into AEW’s regular shows.

Another buzz‑worthy match saw Will Ospreay take on Jungle Boy James. Ospreay’s high‑flying style clashed with James’ hard‑hitting chops, and the bout ended in a dramatic double‑count‑out that left fans demanding a rematch.

Outside of the main card, surprise appearances added extra flavor. Former WWE star Finn Bálor popped up in the crowd and later hinted at a possible crossover, while Jey Uso delivered a short, intense promo that teased future collaborations.

These moments aren’t just talk – they affect weekly TV ratings, merchandise sales and the storylines that shape each promotion’s future. If you follow the shows on TNT, TBS or NJPW World, you’ll see the ripple effects for weeks after the event.

Looking ahead, rumors are swirling about a possible Forbidden Door 2025 showdown in London. Sources say AEW is eyeing a venue that can hold over 20,000 fans, and NJPW might bring more of its junior heavyweight talent to the mix. Keep an eye on official announcements for tickets and exact dates.

For fans who can’t make the live event, the best way to stay updated is to follow AEW’s social channels, subscribe to the NJPW World service, and check out recap videos on YouTube. Most sites post full match replays a few days after the show, so you won’t miss any of the action.
