AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024: New matches added to PPV card

Final builds for the 2024 edition of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view continued on this week's episode of Dynamite. Two new matches have been announced for the coming show while a match lineup has been changed due to injury reasons.

In the new match set for Forbidden Door, Hiroshi Tanahashi will team with The Acclaimed to take on The Elite (The Young Bucks & Kazuchika Okada) in a six-man tag team match. Initially, The Elite challenged The Acclaimed to a trios match.

Billy Gunn then said that he wouldn't be competing in this match as he happened to know a president. That is when Tanahashi appeared on the video screen and announced he'd team up with The Acclaimed - Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, this weekend.

Another tag team match has been announced for Forbidden Door from the AEW women's division where Willow Nightingale and Tam Nakano will team to take on Kris Statlander and Momo Watanabe after a challenge was laid down.

In a pre-taped video, Statlander wanted to have a warm-up match with Nightingale ahead of their Owen Hart Foundation tournament bout set for next Wednesday's Dynamite. Afterward, this tag match was confirmed for Forbidden Door's Zero Hour pre-show.

It was further announced on Dynamite that Bryan Keith would not be wrestling at Forbidden Door in his scheduled tag team match after suffering an injury. Jericho attempted to recruit Minoru Suzuki as a replacement.

Suzuki rejected the offer to be a part of Jericho's trios team at the PPV but he rather challenged Jericho to an FTW title match. No update is there on when this match will be going down.

As it appears, the trios match between The Learning Tree and Hook, Katsuyori Shibata, and Samoa Joe is still on at Forbidden Door but Jericho needs to find a new partner in place for Keith.
