The world of professional wrestling is about to witness an explosive event, and I'm here to break it down for you. AEW's Forbidden Door PPV promises an action-packed night, and the potential match-ups are truly intriguing.
The International Championship: A Battle for Supremacy
Konosuke Takeshita, the current AEW International Champion, is facing a formidable challenge at Forbidden Door. The best wrestlers are lining up to take him on, and it seems like he might have his hands full with not one, but three opponents.
Kyle Fletcher, a former partner of Takeshita, is seeking revenge after their split. Fletcher believes Takeshita has overstepped, and he's determined to reclaim the international title. But here's the twist: former champion Kazuchika Okada has also thrown his hat into the ring. Okada's phrasing, "It's time for us to bring the international title back," suggests a sneaky plan to win the title before Fletcher. A three-way match could be a strategic move for the Rainmaker.
However, the Callis Family, who have a history with Takeshita, might not let this go so easily. Ricochet, loosely aligned with the Callis Family, has also declared his interest in the championship. With so many contenders, it's hard to predict how this will play out.
A Steel Cage Showdown and Title Ambitions
The PPV lineup also features a steel cage match with a unique stipulation. MJF, the TNT Champion, has refused to grant Mark Briscoe a world title shot. Instead, Briscoe's team will face MJF's team in a 12-man tag team match, with the winner earning the world title bout. This match has the potential to be a game-changer, especially with the involvement of the Callis Family and Kevin Knight, who has his eyes on the world title.
Women's Division: Stardom vs. AEW
The women's division is heating up, with Thekla defending her AEW Women's World Championship against Starlight Kid from Stardom. Starlight Kid's comments, "I'm never gonna forgive you for making fun of Stardom like that," add a layer of intensity to this match. This could be a pivotal moment for both promotions, with the winner taking a significant step forward in their respective divisions.
Omega's Return and the Elite Level
Kenny Omega, a legend in the wrestling world, is set to face Zack Sabre Jr. Omega views this match as a stepping stone to regain his elite status and potentially challenge for the AEW World Championship. It's an intriguing match-up, and one that could have significant implications for the future of the promotion.
Tag Teams and Title Pictures
The tag team division is also abuzz with activity. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are looking to settle a score with the Dogs, who stole their five-second pose. David Finlay and Clark Connors, fresh off an impressive win over the Young Bucks, could be next in line for a title shot.
The steel cage match could also impact other title pictures, with potential bouts involving the TNT, National, and Trios Championships. Divine Dominion, the women's tag team champions, are seeking fresh challengers, and a duo from Stardom or CMLL could be an exciting prospect.
The Continental Championship and Unique Challengers
Finally, Jon Moxley, the AEW Continental Champion, is fresh off a defense against Shane Taylor. With faction warfare brewing, it seems like the perfect time to bring in a unique challenger from outside AEW.
AEW's Forbidden Door PPV has all the makings of a must-watch event. The potential match-ups, the rivalries, and the stakes are high. As an avid wrestling fan, I can't wait to see how these stories unfold and who emerges victorious.
