AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door advertised for London next year

An ad spotted at Wembley Stadium indicates that next year’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door will be taking place in London, England.

During the press conference last week to reveal that next year’s All In would take place in Texas as opposed to London, AEW head Tony Khan said that the company had “big plans for England” in 2025 in addition to confirming that All In would return to London in 2026.

It will be the fourth-such event and the second to be held internationally following the 2023 card that was held in Toronto, Canada. The show, traditionally held in June, features wrestlers from both AEW and NJPW in addition to CMLL and Stardom.

It is the second-such crossover event on the books for 2025 as NJPW will host Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th — the day after Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome. Based on the initial announcement, it is their version of Forbidden Door with wrestlers from the same organizations participating.

AEW’s event calendar may fill up even more sooner than later as Khan confirmed media reports on Thursday that they are looking at holding an event in Australia next year — one the Australian version of Sporting News stated is in the advanced stages of being a stadium show.
