AEW Forbidden Door 2023 live stream, start time, card and how to watch online
Here we go, it’s almost time for the AEW Forbidden Door 2023 live stream. After two more shows, that is, as Rampage and Collision precede it. One of the card’s matches was already set, but we’re not including it in the card, to avoid spoiling folks.
AEW Forbidden Door start time
AEW and NJPW are set to repeat history with a supercard chock full of exciting matches. Currently, 11 matches have been announced (including the aforementioned match we dare not name), with a big title match in one of the co-main events: Kenny Omega defending the IWGP United States Championship against Will Ospreay. That’s rumored to go on last, which makes sense as the dream match of The American Dragon Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada has no gold on the line.
Ospreay vs. Omega could also end the card because of the chance that it could be used to debut former NJPW star Kota Ibushi in AEW. Omega’s former manager Don Callis promised to give Ospreay some protection at Forbidden Door on Dynamite, so wouldn’t it make sense for a surprise ally to help Omega?
Elsewhere on the card, Sanada should steam over Jungle Boy in his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship defense, and set up Jack Perry’s heel turn on his new best friend Hook, who’s set to corner him. Toni Storm is also likely to retain her title against Willow Nightingale.
Expect chaos and a heel-win in the Blackpool Combat Club (with Konosuke Takeshita and Shota Umino) vs The Elite (with Eddie Kingston and Tomohiro Ishii) match, because this overall feud is likely not ending until a Blood & Guts match. Plus, The Elite’s Kenny Omega isn’t even in that match; the win can’t come yet.
Lastly, the hardest-to-call match is Orange Cassidy defending his AEW International Championship against Zack Sabre Jr., Katsuyori Shibata and Daniel Garcia. Sabre Jr. could easily win to defend it at All In, since Tony Khan would want him on the U.K. card. But ZSJ doesn’t need this belt to be on that card, as the match between him and Danielson that should have been on last year’s Forbidden Door is too easy to set up.
Oh, and yes, this is the first time The Elite and CM Punk will share a building since the Brawl Out fight last fall. Should be interesting.
