Forbidden Door is a collaboration between AEW and NJPW, there were more than ten matches on the card, Zero Hour and Main Card combined, usually we talk about the PPV/PLE as a whole, however, on this occasion, Let's Talk About the main event, for the AEW World Championship. The defending Champion, Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay, the reigning AEW International Champion.
Will's montage prior to his entrance was amazing, the piano melody added quality to it, his theme song is one of the best in the business today, it's always nice to hear the "Ospreay! Ospreay! chants, Jim Jones introduced the Champion Swerve and the great Prince Nana, Swerve's entrance had a boxing fight vibe to it, the crowd in attendance supported both guys, the introductions made by the announcers, Takuro Shibata and Justin Roberts were very WWE like because of the name plates on screen and camera cuts.
The move exchanges in and out of the ring were excellent throughout the match and while the referee was down, Don Callis gave Will a screwdriver to finish the job on Swerve, Will was hesitant at first and eventually decided against it, the conversations between Callis and Ospreay will be something to watch out for on TV as time goes on, in typical AEW fashion there were so many near falls, Will was running out of energy, he hit the Hidden Blade but it didn't affect Swerve at all, who hit the House Call followed by Big Pressure for the win.
The respect shown by Will and Swerve after the match to each other was great to see, looking forward to their next match, whenever that will be, it's a shame this one didn't happen at Wembley in August this year.
Before we end this conversation, the so-called term "The Forbidden Door" has lost its mystique in recent years, which has unfortunately taken away the fun, nowadays, "The Forbidden Door" is, in truth, just a Door.
We will close it here, be sure to check out the Upcoming Schedule and archived content on this website. Thanks for reading.
