Strickland and Ospreay came face-to-face ahead of their World Title Match at Forbidden Door in the segment on AEW Dynamite where Swerve said that Ospreay had to receive assistance from Don Callis at last year’s Forbidden Door to defeat Kenny Omega.
Ospreay said that he won’t be needing Don to defeat Swerve, this year. Ospreay said Swerve had a Hit Row (referencing Swerve’s WWE faction), while he had a hit list from which he took out everyone he faced. Swerve said he doesn’t have any friends because he got rid of them, and questioned if Ospreay can sacrifice the love of his family to become a dual champion.
