Special Event: AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door (2024)

June 30, 2024 1:03 PM

Once is an event, twice is a coincidence, and the third time is a new institution in professional wrestling. Tonight, the talent rosters of All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling, which have already gotten comfortable with each others these past few years, will once again battle, this time sharing the stage with visitors from World Wonder Ring Stardom (NJPW's sister joshi promotion), and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. Yours truly will have difficulty posting during the show because I'LL BE THERE LIVE.
