All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling are knocking on the Forbidden Door. The two professional wrestling promotions unite for their annual crossover pay-per-view, which also includes representation from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre.
AEW anchors the show, with their wrestlers featured in all nine main card matches, plus the two pre-show bouts. A 12-man steel cage match headlines Sunday's PPV in San Jose, California. Mark Briscoe and AEW world champion MJF captain their respective teams. If Briscoe wins, he earns a shot at MJF's title.
The main event isn't the only match with title shots hanging in the balance. Forbidden Door concludes the 2026 Men's and Women's Owen Hart Cups. Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland compete in the men's finals, while Mercedes Mone and Maya World collide in the women's final. The respective tournament winners earn world title shots at All In: London 2026.
Forbidden Door features numerous heavy-hitters in professional wrestling. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defend their recently won tag team titles, their first title reign together in a quarter century. Former world champion Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega compete in separate bouts.
