AEW Staff Caught Off Guard by Forbidden Door Ads Before All In

AEW has consistently expanded its presence and influence over the past five years, notably through collaborations with other wrestling promotions such as NJPW and STARDOM. These partnerships have given rise to the popular Forbidden Door event, which has quickly become a favourite among wrestling fans.

This year’s Forbidden Door event, which took place on June 30th at the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, delivered some unforgettable moments and thrilling matches. However, AEW is already planning future events, focusing on the 2025 Forbidden Door.

A recent photo has hinted at the possibility of next year’s Forbidden Door being held at Wembley Stadium in London. This speculation aligns with comments made by AEW President and CEO Tony Khan, who has expressed interest in bringing a major AEW event to the UK next year.

In a new report by Fightful Select, many people did not anticipate the reveal of the UK location to happen before All In took place. Furthermore, it was also believed that the Forbidden Door location would be announced at the AEW All-In show, since it was taking place in Wembley Stadium, the venue speculated for Forbidden Door 2025.

“Most in AEW were not aware that the AEW Forbidden Door in the UK reveal would happen ahead of the show, as it was expected by many to be announced at the show.”

However if this speculation proves true, it would mark a significant milestone for AEW as they continue to expand their global footprint. Hosting Forbidden Door at Wembley Stadium could offer an iconic setting and a grand stage for what has become one of AEW’s most anticipated annual events.
