AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 to feature wrestlers from different promotions
In a recent update, Zarian reported on his Beyond the Bell podcast that the annual AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 event won’t be held in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, this June. Fightful Select further reported that this happened due to NJPW not wanting to split the costs with AEW when it comes to running from the venue. Now these updates appeared to be true following the official update from NJPW.
Previously, while speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that there are plans to feature wrestlers from STARDOM and CMLL on the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 show in June. This news also gave info on Tony Khan’s recent tweets regarding Rossy Ogawa, indicating his loyalty to STARDOM,
“There will be STARDOM and CMLL wrestlers on the Forbidden Door show when they do that show in June. So he [Taro Okada] came in and that kind of explains, again, when Tony Khan tweeted those tweets about Rossy Ogawa.”
