AEW Forbidden Door 2024 will take place in a venue very familiar to fans of All Elite Wrestling.
As reported by Andrew Zarian, the AEW and NJPW crossover show will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, the site of the last 3 Grand Slam special episodes of Dynamite and Rampage. The stadium can hold over 23,000 fans.
While the location has changed, the date is still expected to be around the end of June, as has been the case with the past 2 shows. There has yet to be an official announcement from AEW regarding the pay-per-view.
At this time, it is unknown what this means for the Grand Slam event. All Elite Wrestling have previously returned to venues multiple times in one year so there is the possibility that Arthur Ashe will also host an event in September. This will also be the first time that Arthur Ashe has been used for a pay-per-view broadcast as previous Grand Slams have been special TV episodes presented like a pay-per-view with big matches.
Multiple Top Stars Set For AEW Forbidden Door
The show will see stars from AEW and New Japan face off in dream matches for the first time or a rematch from a previous event to settle the rivalry. The main event of the Forbidden Door 2023 show saw Bryan Danielson defeat Kazuchika Okada via submission, with Okada winning the rematch at Wrestle Kingdom 18.
The roster will also be boosted by the additions of top names from New Japan and WWE, as Will Ospreay, Mercedes Mone and Kazuchika Okada are all set to become All Elite in a matter of weeks.
