It is still curious, and even ironic, that the protagonist of the promotion of Forbidden Door 2025 is Will Ospreay. In his own words, he opened the first forbidden door, and although such a data could be discussed, after his march of NJPW to sign with AEW the balance of power between these members has gradually altered dramatically, with the elite house already today as a second large fighting company in the world to the detriment of the “King of Sports.”
Y Forbidden Door 2025 poster so refejawhere New Japan is relegated to a very secondary plane, when we are supposed to be facing a set for “crossover.”
► All Out: parte 1
The previous three editions of Forbidden Door had staged that clash of worlds, with certain matches that ended up becoming memorable fighting, case of that Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay two years ago. Next Sunday, Only four struggles of nine announced retain the seminal concept of the show: The battle “Lightts out” inside a steel cage (thanks to the exclusive presence of Hiroshi Tanahashi), the duel between Zack Sabre Jr. and Nigel McGuinness, the one starring Kyle Fletcher and Hiromu Takahashi and the defense of the TBS championship where one of the challengers will be Bozilla, representative of Stardom NJPW).
During his “Call Call” prior to Forbidden Door, Tony Khan explained that Due to the recent end of the G1 Climax, the “Bookeo” of NJPW talents for the PPV became difficult, hence its low presence within the poster. An understandable argument. However, the three programmed names, Tanahashi, ZSJ and Takahashi, contrary to what could be thought, come from having the same calendar that, to mention three examples of absent, Shingo Takagi, Yuta Tsuji or Shota Umar. It is also worth mentioning that the G1 Climax tour concluded almost a week ago and the next NJPW appointment will not be until September 7.
Among the warm welcome that Forbidden Door 2024, the change of cycle through which NJPW passes (now lacking large blockbusters) and the fact that the edition that concerns us, which PPV to the use of AEW, has exhausted tickets – in a market, the British, always solicitous -, the hatefuls of the alliance that make up these houses have certain arguments for fatalism.
In any case, the repercussions could be negative to AEW in the face of its next PPV produced alone. Forbidden Door used to act as parentheses for the weekly rivalries of the elite house, but this year the promoter has not kept anything. We will see if an such powerful poster for All Out 2025, less than a month, on September 20. Verda, to remember, will compete directly with a premium event of WWE, Wrestlepalooza; Something unpublished in the particular war sustained by both houses.
As a counterpart, and without thinking about the future, but in the here and now, Carpe shut up Total, that Forbidden Door 2025 seems the first part of All Out 2025 has its advantages. AEW goes with his best ships to London, and on paper, after all, He has probably assembled the best menu of an edition of Forbidden Door to datewhere there are even enough options to witness some relevant title change.
Not in the two world category struggles, «Hangman» Page (c) vs. Mjf y Zack Sabre Jr. (c) vs. Nigel McGuinnessdespite this they present themselves very interesting.
The first, due to the rush that AEW has had when programming it and for the stipulations that surround it, with a page that if you want to retain its gold should avoid the “DQ” and the count of 10 outside the ring, in addition to a Friedman who saves a second attempt under the sleeve by maintaining his contract of the Gauntlet Match Casino of All In: Texas.
And the second, there is plenty of saying it, for being a real gift for UK, with the past and present of this scene in Liza, and for the most scientific struggle enthusiasts. McGuinness will no longer have the physical strength of his young years, but retains the technique that made him famous and safe will constitute a last in the ZSJ shoe. The result does not matter here. This duel will remain as One of the great “highlights” of the show and in recent years in British wrestling.
In return, We should not rule out that Forbidden Door 2025 leaves us a new world champion and a new unified champion.
The impulse a Athena Since ROH left (RE) joining AEW's programming, and as happened with Mariah May, he would not harm a defeat to Toni Storm, a gladiator that is above any title and that even in the role of applicant is even more creative. Also, being rude, and seeing what was capable of under the spotlights of Roh, a reign of Athena in AEW is very potential.
Meanwhile, Kazuchika Okada already star Swerve Stricklandwho deserves to carry a medal before heading towards a presumable revenge with “Hangman” Page in the future not too distant, this time by the male world title.
Among the rest of what was specified for the PPV, and without detracting from Adam Copeland and Christian Cage's meeting or the aforementioned Kyle Fletcher defense against Hiromu Takahashi (since no point is minimally expendable), Forbidden Door 2025 will enjoy a closure, as an unofficial “main event” inside a steel cage, which will serve as a competitive farewell to Hiroshi Tanahashi of the British islands Before hanging the boots next January at Wrestle Kingdom 20.
Tanahashi could have reserved some simple struggle to get out of the way, and no one would criticize him considering his physique and career. But the veteran will be part of a battle with capital letters, of which they leave sequelae, with a team of dance companions such as Will Ospreay, Darby Allin or Gabe Kidd unable to go to half a gas. Therefore, Tanahashi is the “as” not only of NJPW, but of the wrestling of the last quarter of the century. “All out”, one last time, in uk.
