AEW announces Forbidden Door II as part of summer Canadian tour
Ahead of their debut Wednesday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, AEW announced a Canadian tour for this summer which will include the return of their Forbidden Door pay-per-view with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Their second-ever cross-promoted PPV will take place at Toronto’s ScotiaBank Centre on Sunday, June 25th — a date that had been identified some time ago thanks to a cable provider’s listed upcoming schedule.
This will be AEW’s second appearance in the city after they ran Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum for both Dynamite and Rampage last October.
The event will be part of a six-show Canadian tour that will see the company explore new markets in the Great White North with live Dynamites, a live Rampage, and a house show.
- Wednesday, June 28: Dynamite/Rampage at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario
- Wednesday, July 5: Dynamite/Rampage at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta
- Wednesday, July 12: Dynamite at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
- Friday, July 14: Rampage at Brandt Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan
- Saturday, July 15: AEW House Rules at The Saddledome as part of the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta
While the Calgary show goes on sale this Friday, all other shows will go on sale on Friday, March 24th.
