Much “hate” in the Internet luchística community could be observed when Zack Sabre Jr. recovered the IWGP World Weight Championship last June, aiming that NJPW's and AEW plans would then go through programming to program Forbidden Door 2025 A nth duel between the monarch and Will Ospreay, old acquaintances inside and outside the ring.
But the Japanese and the American house kept other plans. A week ago, they announced that The ZSJ challenger would leave a four -band fight between Nigel McGuinness, Sorcerero, Lee Moriarty and Daniel Garcia. This week, Ospreay revealed that he would star in a “light out” fight inside a steel cage after his vendetta Against the Death Riders. And yesterday, during Collision, we were able to confirm that although Ospreay will not be measured to ZSJ, there will finally be a “British” defense.
For the first time in his career, almost 50 years, McGuinness will have the opportunity to conquer the maximum NJPW scepterafter being victorious of that clash against sorcerer, Moriarty and Garcia. Meanwhile, for ZSJ he will mean the first defense of his current ostentation, who comes from falling into the semifinals of the G1 Cimax against Konosuke Takeshita, winner today of the fair when imposed on Evil in the final.
McGuinnes, visibly empathetic towards Garcia's frustration for not being able to win, offered him to be in his corner in Forbidden Door, and the young gladiator had good accept.

With this addition, the Forbidden Door 2025 menu is provisionally presented, which will take place on August 24 from the O2 Arena de London (England).
