Start the work week with a few rumors.
Lead Rumor: Forbidden Door uncertainty
AEW will hold its Forbidden Door pay-per-view this coming weekend, but there has been some uncertainty for talent regarding the show. That’s according to Fightful Select, who indicate multiple wrestlers from AEW, NJPW, and CMLL didn’t know what they will be doing on the show at least as of this past week’s episode of Dynamite.
It’s worth pointing out, however, that Fightful was told this “isn’t out of the ordinary, and they’ll find out their matches the week of the show.”
Amidst the uncertainty is Gabe Kidd’s status. New Japan expected him to be a big part of the show this year but it’s unclear if that will be the case. That’s because AEW is playing it close to the vest.
Hey, a lot of times it’s better when we don’t know, right?
