AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door 2 is already shaping up to be an outstanding show but what other matches are we likely to see at this Sunday's event?
DAZN looks at a number of intriguing matches that definitely belong on the big stage.
FTR vs. Bishamon
After enjoying a solid run with the IWGP tag straps, could FTR target them again by taking on Bishamon at Forbidden Door 2? Goto and Yoshi-Hashi captured the belts earlier this month after they were vacated by Aussie Open and if they want to make a sepctacular impact then what better way than accepting the challenge of FTR and adding the AEW tag belts to their collection haul.
Mercedes Mone vs. Jade Cargill
The former Sasha Banks has reinvented herself superbly in 2023 with a number of impressive showings away from WWE. Despite plenty of speculation, Mercedes Mone has still not made her presence known in AEW but with Forbidden Door 2 dominating the current wrestling season, now could be the time to do it.
Jade Cargill is one of the most impressive ladies on Tony Khan’s roster of female performers, and she’d surely welcome the opportunity to take on Mone. After losing her TBS title to Kris Statlander at Double or Nothing last month, a win over Mone could be the ideal pick-me-up for Cargill.
Orange Cassidy vs. Zack Sabre Jr
Two losers from last year’s event, but performers who put up an incredible effort, are Orange Cassidy and Zack Sabre Jr. Cassidy went down in the best match of the night when he was beaten Will Ospreay and it was disappointment for Sabre Jr who lost to the debuting Claudio Castagnoli.
This time around could be very different for both men. Cassidy approaches the event in incredible form thanks to his impressive run with the AEW International title, but could he extend that streak against Sabre Jr? In a potential show stealer, both of these talents deserve the opportunity to see who the better man is.
