Stardom talent not expected to appear at Forbidden Door, hoping to work with AEW in the future

  • Ian Carey

There are no plans for Stardom talent to appear on the Forbidden Door pay-per-view but the company does hope to work with AEW in the future. 

It was noted by our own Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that while Stardom has its own PPV on the same day as Forbidden Door, they would like to take part in future shows. 

“There is nothing at all going on regarding that show regarding Stardom, which has a PPV scheduled the same day,” Meltzer wrote. 

“We do know that Stardom, which is owned by Bushiroad, the same company that owns New Japan, would be interested in being part of future shows and working with AEW. Stardom would also be interested in booking AEW talent for a 12/30 show at Sumo Hall, although neither side has talked as best we can tell,” he continued. 

Stardom is hoping to pack their show on Friday, December 30 with non-Japanese fans, with the belief being that many will be flying into the country to attend Wrestle Kingdom the following week.
