The AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door Zero Hour Show is welcomed by Renee Paquette. She then introduces the rest of the pre-show panels, Jeff Jarrett, RJ City and Madison Rain, and runs the cards for today’s PPV. The panel says Brian Danielson was to join the crew.
After that, we receive some discussion from today’s PPV panel.

The panel then continues to down the cards and gets some video packages before sending things to ringside. Excalibur and Ian Riccaboni welcome us to the show and get their first match of the Zero Hour Preshow.
Cru then heads into the ring for the first match of the pre-show, followed by the Don Callis family. El Desperad, Paragon, Yuu and Eda Yuya then head towards the ring.
8 Man Tag Team Match: Paragon (Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong), El Desperad and Juya Uemura vs. Crew (Action Andretti and Rio Rush), Don Karis family (Hechesero and “Walking Weapons” Josh Alexander)
The match begins with Uemura and Alexander increasing each other’s size. Desperad and Hexero then tag both trade, trade, push and counters until hexero begins control. He then pulls Desperado into the corner and tags back to Alexander, but Rush immediately tags himself. Andretti then deflects Desperado and starts a double team of NJPW stars. Desperado then regains his composure and tags O’Reilly, but the sustained double team proves too much for him.
He can then tag powerfully, and the face can easily regain the advantage. Things then fall apart when all eight men begin to fight. After the brawl, Andretti and Rush return to the strong ring, and Rush as a legitimate man. Strong then tries to tag him, but Rush continues to lock him in the center before slapping him with suppress and pin attempts. Strong then gets to hit a backbreaker with Rush, and he struggles with his own leg and tags O’Reilly, who stops Rush from tagging.
Andretti then splits up O’Reilly’s attempt to submit at Rush, and the heels start double-assemblying the Paragon members again. O’Reilly is then strongly restrained, but in the end he has to tag him with Uemura. The heels are then tagged with Alexander and he begins to trade strikes with Uemura. Uemura then dropkicks Alexander and is fired, but Alexander regains the advantages and tag of Hexero, and begins dualizing Uemura so that Rush and Andretti clear the rest of the opposition.
Heels in turn land an attack on Uemura and head out to Pin’s attempt, but Desperado breaks it. The two teams then execute the attack until only Andretti and Rush are standing. Uemura then stands up, clears, takes Andretti and begins a wrestling rush. Uemura then wins with a deadbolt.
Winners of eight tag team matches, Paragon (Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong), Eldesperado and Yuya Uemura!
After the match, O’Reilly points to Uemura and sings praises. Archer and Romero then join the heels to attack the babyface. Tomohiro then heads to the ring. Ishii and Archer then take their elbows. Ishii then makes the exchange better and hits the Brainbuster. O’Reilly is happy, but the strong ones pull him away from Ishii.
Ricochet and the Gate of Pain will advance towards the ring for the next game of Preshow, followed by Michael Ock and Jetsped.
Trio Match: Jetspeed (“Jet” Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey) and Michael Ok vs. Gates of Agony (Bishop Count and Toaliona) and Ricochet
The match begins with Ricochet and Oku, and Oku quickly gains the upper hand before Goa gets involved. The heel benefits don’t last long as Jetspeed neutralizes Goa. Oku then thrusts into the air by Liona before knocking out the troublesome fall outside. Ricochet then pulls Oku into the ring and attempts a pinfall, but Oku kicks out. Goa then works offshore when Ricochet returns. Ok then starts to gain steam and asks for a tag, but Ricochet stops him and tags him. Oki then tags Knight, who begins to take the opposition.
Bailey is then tagged and all three faces begin working with the counter before Ricochet splits the pins. Everyone is then leveled out in a series of attacks until Oku and Ricochet tag in. Oku then avoids the kick and knocks Ricochet to the outside ground. He then pumps up the crowd and jumps into Ricochet, avoiding tackles from Liona. Ok then paints the ring with a frog and hits Ricochet, but Ricochet is kicked out of Pin’s attempt. Gore then enters the ring, but Jet Speed stops them from taking out the ocean. Ricochet then hits the Knight with his knee, but Bailey keeps him from throwing it away. Bailey then took Gore on the outside, pulling out a Night Cajuline Ricochet, and Oku hit the Moonsust on the stepping stone.
Ricochet then kicks out, but Oki puts him in the half club and Gore defeats Jet Speed. Judge Rick Knox is distracted by Gore. Ricochet gouges Ok’s eyes, his heels regain his advantage, and Ricochet wins after hitting the finisher.
Trios Match winners, Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona), Ricochet!
He then heads behind Lexy Nair interviewing Don Callis. She asks Karis if the family is worried about all the titles on the line tonight. Charis says that Heavy is a head wearing a crown and he took out the most expensive insurance contract to hold their money. Karis then calls Prince Nana a mental illness and asks that Strickland is receiving advice from him, but Okada has someone like him. Charis says Kyle Fletcher will crush his old companion Hiromu on his way to victory.
Megan Bene then squeals for the next match of Preshow and the next match of the crazy triangle. Willow Nightingale, Queen Aminata, Harley Cameron and Chris Stalander then proceed towards the ring.
8 Tag Team Match: Madness of the Triangle (Julia Heart, Sky Blue, “Toxic Spider” Tekra) and “Megasus” Megan Beine vs. Harley Cameron, Chris Stalander, Queen Aminata, Willow Night Sale of Conglomeration
The match begins with a brawl between eight women, but the faces are controlled and the opponent is divided into each corner. Nightingale and Tekra begin wrestling and stop Nightingale’s momentum before tagging them with a heart. Hart then ends up in the ring with Aminata. Hart then escapes from Statlander and tags with blue, and Hart gets the tag back and starts working together on Statlander. After that, start the Statlander outside and clear your face from the ring apron.

Bain and Cameron are in the ring until Harley removes the face mask and gains the benefits. They both go down then, and Cameron asks for the tag until Blue and Hart pull Nightingale out of the apron. Nightingale then knocks both down and returns to position, but Bein tages her and kicks her off. Cameron then tries to get Bane up, but Bane kicks him out. Bein then strikes a Liger bomb with Cameron for victory.
The winners of the eight tag team, Madnest Triangle (Julia Heart, Sky Blue, “Toxic Spider” Tekra) and “Megasus” Megan Beine!
After that, we head backwards. There, Lexy Nair is waiting for the young Bucks. They then berate the production workers, demanding that tonight’s introduction be changed, they play old songs, order them to find the most dangerous weapons on the streets of London, and put them in bags under the ring of the main event. Then, if he doesn’t, he says he saw what happened to Justin Roberts last week.
Dr. Martha Hart, Ogier Hart and AEW President Tony Kahn then make their exit. Later, Khan today boasts that he is the biggest crowd of professional wrestling shows in the history of the O2 Arena in London, England. Kahn then hands over the microphone to Martha. Martha says it’s great to be at a forbidden door. She then talks about backing the AEW World Championship online in tonight’s main event against MJF. She then asks the crowd what they’re trying to do and sends Mike back to Karn. President AEW then says something a little more simple and closes shortly afterwards.
You will then get the entrance to the final match of the pre-show.

He then sends the kill switch back into the ring, and a power bomb from Copeland allows the cage to get a two count.
Killswitch then has both men by his throat as he stands up, but Sabian tags himself and deflects the referee when Copeland and Cage hit a DDT on Killswitch. By this distraction, Sabian can get a cheap shot at two counts, and the cage fights back for the spear blocked by Sabian. Copeland then slides for an assist and he spears with Sabian, where the Cage can get victory.
