The upcoming AEW crossover event, featuring New Japan Pro Wrestling’s return, is scheduled for August 24th at the O2 Arena in London, England. Now in its fourth year, this Forbidden Door event has grown beyond just NJPW talent, potentially including stars from Mexican CMLL and Japanese Stardom due to AEW’s growing partnerships. Fans can also anticipate some surprising developments similar to previous AEW pay-per-views.
One major highlight is the return of Eddie Kingston, who has been out since last May due to a severe leg injury sustained in a brutal final man’s match against Gabe Kidd in New Japan. Kidd himself is sidelined and unable to compete in the NJPW G1 Tournament but hopes to be ready for Forbidden Door. With the event taking place in the UK, what better moment to mark Kingston’s comeback?
Fan Take: Eddie Kingston’s return is a thrilling prospect for AEW fans who have missed his gritty, hard-hitting style. This event could set the tone for an electrifying year, showcasing AEW’s expanding global influence and the exciting talent exchanges that truly elevate pro wrestling worldwide.
