Wrestlers from Stardom and CMLL will be featured at the next Forbidden Door show. 

Tony Khan posted a picture of himself with Stardom President Taro Okada ahead of AEW Big Business on Wednesday. Our own Dave Meltzer addressed the meeting between the two on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer said:

There will be Stardom and CMLL wrestlers on the Forbidden Door show when they do that show in June.

So (Taro Okada) came in and that kind of explains, again, when Tony Khan tweeted those tweets about Rossy Ogawa.It was definite loyalty to Stardom and Rossy Ogawa was quitting Stardom, so that’s what is going on there.

Meltzer also noted that he believes wrestlers from Stardom will be on the April 5 ROH Supercard of Honor show. In particular, he noted that AZM and Mina Shirakawa could be scheduled for it. 

Bushiroad fired Stardom founder Rossy Ogawa in early February, just weeks before his contract was to expire. Following Ogawa’s release, Khan posted to social media seemingly to celebrate the news. 

Ogawa is believed to be starting a new promotion in Japan, with Giulia expected to take part initially before starting with WWE.
