The wrestling world was buzzing as as noted by PWMania.com, Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view (PPV) premium live event introduced a recently introduced steel cage concept called “Death’s Door.” This circular structure surrounds the ring and is reminiscent of AAA’s circular cage — The Steel Asylum, which TNA used in the early 2010s. Be that as it may, unlike that cage, Death’s Door does not have a roof.
According to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, this bout type could become a “staple” of the Forbidden Door PPV moving forward. No further details are available at this time, but updates will be provided as they arise.
The intense showdown lasted just over 30 minutes and featured various weapons, including tables, thumbtacks, and an exploding trap set by Darby Allin. The conclusion of the match saw Andrade El Idolo turn on MJF and the Don Callis Family out of frustration — which allowed Mark Briscoe to score the pinfall victory.
Briscoe will receive a shot at MJF’s AEW World Championship, as a result of this win. Booked for Wednesday night, briscoe validated in the back after the match that he would be challenging for the belt on over the past week’s AEW Dynamite. Adding to the story, aEW later officially confirmed that the championship match will kick off this week’s show of Dynamite.
