Mark Briscoe qualifies for TNT title ladder match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

Mark Briscoe is the latest to qualify for the Forbidden Door ladder match.

Briscoe defeated Brian Cage on Wednesday, earning himself a spot in the ladder match that will determine a new TNT Champion at Forbidden Door on June 30. Konosuke Takeshita, who appeared in the crowd next to Don Callis, applauded Briscoe’s victory.

Jack Perry, who was watching the match backstage, also applauded but told Briscoe that it didn’t matter because no one is willing to make as big of a sacrifice for AEW than himself. Perry said he is destined to win the TNT title no matter what Tony Khan thinks.

Takeshita was the first to qualify, defeating Penta El 0 Miedo on a recent episode of Rampage. The title was vacated after Adam Copeland suffered a foot injury at Double or Nothing.

Here is the updated lineup for Forbidden Door:

• AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland defends against Will Ospreay
• Ladder match for the vacant TNT Championship: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mark Briscoe vs. TBD
• Title for title: TBS Champion Mercedes Mone vs. NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer
• AEW Women’s Championship: Toni Storm defends against Mina Shirakawa
