Fans have for long wanted a pay-per-view crossover between the two promotions. AEW and New Japan have been exchanging talents for the past couple of months. NJPW star Tomohiro Ishii wrestled Adam Cole tonight on Rampage. You can check out the results right here.

AEW and NJPW will reveal the card for the “Forbidden Door” event in the buildup to the show. Current IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada recently revealed the he won’t be attending the show due to his wife’s birthday, which falls on June 28th.
