The event will see wrestlers from AEW and NJPW face off against each other, with championships from both companies on the line.
Last year's show ended up being one of the best wrestling pay-per-views of 2022, despite a questionable build on television. This year Forbidden Door has had more of a focus on AEW television leading to the event, with some huge matches announced.
