Legendary professional wrestler Sting has been added to the card of the Forbidden Door 2022 PPV event set for this weekend. He will be participating in a match that would also see a reunion of the former Bullet Club members.
On the June 22 episode of Dynamite, AEW World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks announced that they’ll team up with the current Bullet Club members El Phantasmo and Hikuleo against Sting, Darby Allin, Hiromu Takahashi, and Shingo Takagi at Forbidden Door 2022.
The Young Bucks have been cornerstone figures for Bullet Club upon their arrival in NJPW in 2013 along with the former IWGP Heavyweight and AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega. Later, the Jackson brothers would form the ‘Super Elite’ faction with the Omega, Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Don Callis.
IWGP World Heavyweight Championship will also be on the line at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2022. During this week’s Dynamite, the former NJPW Heavyweight Champion and a legend for the promotion, Kazuchika Okada made his All Elite Wrestling debut. Okada made the save for Adam Page who was receiving a beatdown from Adam Cole and NJPW World Heavyweight Champion, Jay White. The match was confirmed after this segment.
