AEW AEW X FORBIDDEN DOOR LIVE PPV THREAD

It has a lot of potential for in ring quality, but almost none of the matches have any real implication past tonight
Fatal four ways suck and this show has two of them

also mox vs tanahashi is not a dream match and lame in my opinion
 
My predictions
Moxley
White pinning Cole, anything besides that would surprise me tbh
Miro, Pac is fine with me too though. Wish we could have seen Ishii and Miro throw down
Ospreay
Jericho/Suzuki/Sammy
Rosa, wouldn’t mind Toni Storm winning though
FTR
ZSJ, I think they’ll build it up to an eventual match with Bryan. Curious who his opponent will be
Darbys team. Sucks Hiromu is out but trimming it to a 6 man is probably better. ELP and Shingo are awesome too so it gives them more of a spotlight
Keith Lee/Swerve, but I could see them losing too if they’re still doing the “not on the same page” angle
Goto/Yoshi-hashi
Caster/Gunn club

it could be a LOT better in a perfect world with all the injuries and other things going on (MJF/Ibushi) but I’m looking forward to it there should be some good matches in ring wise

Interim AEW World Championship - Jon Moxley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
IWGP World Heavyweight Championship - Jay White (c) vs. Kazuchika Okada vs. “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Adam Cole
AEW All-Atlantic Championship - Pac vs. Miro vs. Malakai Black vs. Clark Connors
IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Championship - Will Ospreay (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
ROH and IWGP World Tag Team unification match - FTR (ROH) vs. United Empire (IWGP) vs. Roppongi Vice
AEW World Women’s Championship - Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Toni Storm
Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Minoru Suzuki vs. Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta, and Shota Umino (Winner gets the advantage for Blood and Guts next Wednesday)
The Young Bucks and El Phantasmo vs. Sting, Darby Allin, and Shingo Takagi
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Mystery opponent picked by Bryan Danielson
Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee vs. Suzuki-gun
QT Marshall and Aaron Solo vs. Bishamon
Gunn Clubb and Max Caster
vs. Yuya Uemura, Alex Coughlin, The DKC, and Kevin Knight

Thinking Tanahashi's going to win as he was slated to face Punk as it was. Also, I think this is the best move for AEW to show NJPW they are serious with working with them. It'll set up a rematch down the line at a WK, which Mox would possibly win.. But it'd have to be after Punk - Tanahashi, so maybe that match happens at the next WK?

4-way for the IWGP title is a head scratcher, why have Okada lose seemingly out of nowhere just to win it back here? I probably would have left Okada off this card if he wasn't champion and save him for another mash up event. Don't see how the dawg, Hangman, or noodly arm Cole win this. It's either White or Okada, sticking with White.

Almost picked Miro, but I think PAC winning is something he's essentially "due" in AEW, and it's a title that he can take back home and defend. It's weird saying PAC's "due" something as he is deserving as it is, but his work schedule/bouncing back and forth is a bit of a detriment to how AEW could book him.

Takagi wins his match, he doesn't need Sting and Allin there. Allin's been losing too much to WWE/NXT guys as it is.

Gonna be weird if Danielson's mystery guy, who's joining BCC, loses in his debut, so I'd think Claudio's winning.

Very interesting to see you're reasoning to have Tanahashi win the AEW title. Makes sense too

ur point about okada works opposite for me. having him win the title on ppv over switchblade, cole, and hangman elevates him on American tv and gives the casuals a reason to believe he is as big a star as the rest of us know he is. follow that up with semiregular appearances on weekly tv with a match or promo here and there helps build him and njpw's credibility for casuals long term, if thats what they r going for.

if okada loses this one then aew casuals like @lakersfan45 have no reason to care about him at all.


*fingers crossed*
 
Do you really want to know why Tanahashi is going to win the Interim AEW World Heavyweight Championship?


Because he's the ACE OF THE UNIVERSE

Really just think Okada losing the title before FD makes no sense, unless Okada is taking time off or something.

But Gedo likes to do weird shit.

ah
okada's wife is due to give birth soon so he had time off planned,
but i think he knows how big a deal this show is for both companies
and likewise both companies know how big a deal he is
so being on this show was a must.
 
They did Jay White dirty like that last time he was IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He was champ for a month and they had Okada take it from him at Madison Square Garden. Would be fucked if Gedo did him like that a 2nd time at another big show in America<Lmaoo>
