Last April, AEW President Tony Khan announced a huge Pay-Per-View event with the oldest, biggest and world-famed Japanese Pro Wrestling promotion NJPW under the theme of the “AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door” in Chicago on June 26.
“It added: “As the world continues to reopen, I’m making sure the Forbidden Door follows suit and we can finally give fans the dream events they’ve always imagined,” said Tony Khan, CEO, GM and Head of Creative of AEW.
“The United Center was home to one of AEW’s biggest events of all time, The First Dance, where CM Punk made his return to wrestling after a seven-year hiatus. This summer, fans of AEW and NJPW can expect the unexpected during this extraordinary, first-of-its-kind pay-per-view between our two incredible companies,” the joint statement between both corporations said.
