AEW & New Japan host their first joint PPV, an event several months in the making, tonight in Forbidden Door. All but one match features wrestlers from each promotion competing against each other, with a number of title matches set as well. New Japan lost a couple of participants the last few days as Tomohiro Ishii was removed due to injury while Hiromu Takahashi was unable to travel due to illness (fever) while Bryan Danielson was not cleared to compete, denying him a match against Zack Sabre Jr. This resulted in Clark Connors being added to the AEW All-Atlantic Title 4-way as a replacement and a planned 8-man tag match becoming a 6-man instead. The main event will be Jon Moxley vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the Interim AEW World Championship.
Today’s event will be held at United Center in Chicago and can be watched LIVE on PPV via participating cable/satellite providers and Bleacher Report in the US, ppv.com in Canada ONLY, New Japan World in Japan ONLY and FITE elsewhere for $49.99 except in Japan, where it is 4980 yen. If you go the Bleacher Report route, you get the live stream and then on demand replays for 72 hours after a 24 hour wait. A FREE pre-show will stream on YouTube 1 hour before the main show. A post-event media scrum on YouTube is currently scheduled for 12:30 AM ET/9:30 PM PT indicating the PPV’s likely runtime will be in the neighborhood of 5 hours total.
