Spectrum Cable lists AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 for June 24
Spectrum Cable may have given away the date for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2.
The company’s pay-per-view listings have the event scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2023. The first Forbidden Door took place Sunday, June 26, 2023, from the United Center in Chicago.
Last year’s Forbidden Door featured Jon Moxley defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi for the interim AEW World Championship in the main event. Jay White also retained the IWGP World Championship in a four-way match against Adam Cole, Kazuchika Okada, and “Hangman” Adam Page.
Shortly after the event, Tony Khan spoke to NY Post about the future of Forbidden Door events and noted that he hopes to keep them in North America.
Khan said:
“The idea of doing an event [in Japan] with AEW stars and New Japan stars is very potentially interesting, but if it happens it won’t be Forbidden Door. Forbidden Door is gonna stay in North America. It wouldn’t make sense with the time zones, the revenue.”
AEW would have two pay-per-view events before a second Forbidden Door show takes place. The company has AEW Revolution on March 5, 2023, from the Chase Center in San Francisco and the annual Double or Nothing show on May 28, 2023. ROH will also host a pay-per-view on March 31, 2023, from Los Angeles.
