Tony Khan announced on Twitter that a top wrestler will walk through the “Forbidden Door” and will debut this Wednesday night on Dynamite.
Khan tweeted, “As referenced on #AEWRampage, I have a surprise: on #AEWDynamite Live on @TBSNetwork
a top wrestler will walk through the Forbidden Door this Wednesday and debut in @AEW. More info to come. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a great Rampage tonight! See you Wednesday on TBS!”
Khan followed up: “The Forbidden Door can be opened for anyone from any wrestling promotion in the world, whether or not it’s a company @AEW is on good terms with, even if it’s someone from a company that’s open for business. They’re also welcome to slam the door in the face of their prior company.”
There’s a long list of names who could fit what Khan is talking about in the tweet. Some of the names that fans are already speculating on are Kazuchika Okada and Josh Alexander. It should be noted that Alexander’s name was mentioned by Brandi Rhodes last Wednesday during her promo segment with Dan Lambert. Alexander also sent out a cryptic tweet that you can see below under Khan’s tweet.
Also, there are several former WWE stars who are free agents and the belief is that one big name may have already signed with the company.
UPDATE: More from Khan on Twitter…
