Making a return to the UK for a 3rd consecutive year, AEW Forbidden Door 2025 will see the crossover show take place in London for the first time ever on August 24.
Following on from 2 shows at Wembley Stadium in 2023 and 2024, Forbidden Door will air live from the O2 Arena in London and has advertised a loaded card with stars from AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling, many of whom are from the UK.
IWGP World Champion Zack Sabre Jr. is set to put his title on the line against Nigel McGuinness in what will be an all-British bout with the top prize in NWPW at stake. Additionally, Essex native Will Ospreay will be part of a light out unsanctioned steel cage match that will also be Hiroshi Tanahashi’s final UK match.
In what will likely be the main event, World Champion Adam Page will put his title on the line against MJF, who no longer has to use his guaranteed World Title opportunity he won at All In: Texas last month.
