Hangman Page vs Kazuchika Okada Not Scheduled For AEW & NJPW ‘Forbidden Door’ Event

AEW and NJPW are holding Forbidden Door in Chicago on June 26th. We will have full coverage of the event here on Ringside News, but things are already getting off to a rocky start in terms of reporting.

After Dave Meltzer reported that Hangman vs Okada was on a list for the event, they retracted that report. The Wrestling Observer Twitter account sent out a blast to fans letting them know that this report was not correct and the card is being kept a secret.

Per @davemeltzerWON, his WOR note last night that Hangman Page vs. Okada was tabbed for Forbidden Door based on a lineup he had seen was incorrect. That match is not planned for the PPV as the lineup is being kept a secret.

It appears that, at best, some wires were crossed here. Either way, we’re sure that Tony Khan and the higher-ups at NJPW are coming up with a big card for Forbidden Door.
