The main event for the upcoming AEW X NJPW: Forbidden Door Pay-Per-View has been officially announced. On tonight’s AEW Dynamite, it was confirmed that “Hangman” Adam Page will put his AEW World Championship on the line against his longtime adversary, MJF.
This match was set after a heated confrontation between champion and challenger in the center of the ring. MJF declared that he will cash in the contract he secured for a World Title shot at the pay-per-view event in London.
MJF earned this contract on July 12th by winning a casino gauntlet match at the Texas pay-per-view. Since then, he has been engaged in a fierce verbal feud with Page, expressing his intent to claim the title outright, without relying on the contract.
This championship bout is a rematch of their previous clash at the March 2025 Revolution Pay-Per-View. The intense rivalry between these two AEW “Pillars” has been a key storyline for the company for years.
The buildup to this showdown has been deeply personal. Following MJF’s controversial victory over Page’s ally, Mark Brisco, last week, both men exchanged heated words on Dynamite, setting the stage for the official challenge tonight.
The AEW World Championship match adds high stakes to the already impressive AEW X NJPW: Forbidden Door card. This event is scheduled for Sunday, August 24th, at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
Fan Take: This showdown between Adam Page and MJF is a must-watch for AEW fans, as it highlights one of the company’s most compelling rivalries. The outcome could redefine the championship landscape and elevate the sport by showcasing top-tier storytelling and athleticism on a global stage.
