Tony Khan has announced two new matches for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Zero Hour.

For the first time, WON Hall of Famer Mistico will team with The Lucha Bros on the show. They will wrestle Yota Tsuji, Titan, and Hiromu Takahashi in a trios match.

LuchaBlog clarified that Mistico teaming with Penta & Rey Fenix likely means CMLL no longer considers the Lucha Bros to be affiliated with AAA.

“This is not AAA/CMLL together, the opposite. Penta recently said he likes everyone in AAA but would not be working there this year. There was something he wanted to do and had not done that required him to not work with AAA. This is CMLL saying they believe LB are not AAA guys,” LuchaBlog wrote.

Saraya vs. Mariah May in an Owen Hart Cup quarterfinal match is now scheduled for Sunday’s pre-show as well. The winner of that match will advance to face the winner of Deonna Purrazzo vs. Hikaru Shida (scheduled for Collision) in the tournament semifinals.

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. Jack Perry vs. Lio Rush vs. Dante Martin vs. TBA
  • 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
  • IWGP World Heavyweight title: Jon Moxley defends against Tetsuya Naito
  • Owen Hart Foundation men’s quarterfinal match: Bryan Danielson vs. Shingo Takagi

  • Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Orange Cassidy
  • The Elite (Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & The Acclaimed
