On Sunday, August 24th, AEW will officially reveal the Forbidden Door 2025 Pay-per-View event, set to take place at the O2 Arena in London, England. The event promises thrilling matches and cross-promotion battles featuring championship titles, showcasing top talents from AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Stardom, and CMLL. Alongside exciting match announcements, fans can expect intriguing storyline developments, including potential shifts with several heels turning babyfaces. Highlighted among these potential face-turns is the Heart Syndicate, consisting of MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Rushley. Recently, tensions rose on the July 23rd episode of AEW Dynamite as the Hurt Syndicate aligned with Cope in their feud against FTR, causing frustration for MJF who felt abandoned by his allies. A confrontation between Bobby Rushley and MJF culminated in Rushley ejecting MJF from the syndicate, setting the stage for Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin to likely embrace babyface roles leading up to or during Forbidden Door 2025.
Fan Take: This development is huge for AEW fans because turning key heels like the Heart Syndicate members into babyfaces could refresh storylines and create new fan favorites. It also raises the stakes for Forbidden Door 2025, promising dynamic character shifts and inter-promotional rivalries that could elevate professional wrestling’s global appeal.
