37-year-old star teases a blockbuster confrontation with AEW President Tony Khan at Forbidden Door
A 37-year-old star seemingly invited AEW President Tony Khan for a blockbuster confrontation at the upcoming Forbidden Door Pay-Per-View. The star also expressed his displeasure with Khan's recent decision.
The performer in question is NJPW star EVIL. The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion has spent the majority of his career in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and is yet to make an appearance in AEW. Meanwhile, EVIL might have just teased his potential appearance for the upcoming Forbidden Door Pay-Per-View.
While recently speaking with Tokyo Sports, the 37-year-old star expressed his disappointment with AEW President Tony Khan making decisions regarding the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, which is currently held by Jon Moxley, and seemingly called out Khan for a confrontation at the Forbidden Door 2024 Pay-Per-View.
“You’re doing whatever you want, and I’m not going to stand by and watch. Don’t act like you’re an equal to me, the president of an organization that’s not that big. My company and your company are not of the same caliber. You don’t seem to know your place, so I’ll give you a lesson. You can stand in front of me (at Forbidden Door). Next time you won’t be wearing a corset. You and I are on different levels," EVIL said. [H/T Inside The Ropes]
What the future has in store for EVIL remains to be seen.
