The card for Sunday’s AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view event is loaded, but the main event has yet to be confirmed.
The top matches on the card include IWGP United States Champion Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada vs. Bryan Danielson, IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA vs. Jungle Boy, and AEW World Champion MJF vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that while AEW has hinted on television at Danielson vs. Ospreay headlining the show, he knows that there has been talk of doing Omega vs. Ospreay in the main event.
“With every Tony [Khan] show, you know, every Tony pay-per-view. That’s when you look at the match order, it’s always difficult because, you know, there’s theories and, and stuff. And I mean, this is an interesting one because I…No one has said this, but on TV they kept pushing the idea that Tata and Danielson was the main event. Which leads to the idea that they’re going on last. I know that some have talked about Ospreay and Omega going on last. But it’s not MJF and Tanahashi and I don’t think anyone thinks MJF and Tanahashi is going on last, but that is how many fans think that, like, ‘Oh, MJF, the AEW Champion is going last.’ And in this one, I do not think that,” Meltzer stated.
