A couple of new matches have been announced on the latest episode of Dynamite on the TBS Network for the cross-promotional 2024 AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view waiting for later this month.

Top AEW star power Bryan Danielson and Shingo Takagi will face off in a match on the PPV night which will also serve as one of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament quarterfinals from the men’s division.

This particular match was announced during the main event match of Dynamite where Danielson was sitting at the commentary desk. Pac defeated former ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli to advance to the next round of the Men’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament in this match.

Watching Pac’s win, Bryan said that he couldn’t wait for the Dragon vs. Dragon lineup from the men’s in the first round. Bryan has The American Dragon moniker while Takagi is often referred to be the Japanese Dragon in the wrestling circuit.

Forbidden Door 2024 won’t be the first time that the two will feature in a match. Before this Bryan and Takagi met in a singles match at a Dragon Gate USA event back in 2010, which the former won.

After returning to AEW programming, MJF returned to in-ring competition on this week’s Dynamite as she defeated Rush in the opening match of the night which also was a commercial-free segment on the airing platform.

Once the match was over, The Cage of Agony appeared on the screen and Brian Cage told MJF that Nicholas and Matthew Jackson of The Young Bucks had announced a match between MJF and Hechicero for Forbidden Door.

Later, Tony Schiavone said only AEW President Tony Khan or his current replacement authority Christopher Daniels could make that match, official for the PPV. Following Dynamite, Khan took to his X handle to confirm the PPV bout.
