"A lot of things have now" changed in AEW, affecting Forbidden Door 3 - Reports
AEW and NJPW are set to present the third annual Forbidden Door pay-per-view this summer. New details have just leaked on All Elite Wrestling making changes that have impacted plans for Forbidden Door.
The inaugural AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event was held at the United Center in Chicago, and then the second show was held at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. While not confirmed, it was recently reported that Tony Khan has major plans for Forbidden Door III in the works as NJPW, CMLL, and Stardom are expected to be featured.
Khan's company has experienced recent internal changes, which have affected plans for Forbidden Door III, according to Beyond The Bell's Andrew Zarian. The big event was scheduled to take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, but that has been nixed.
Arthur Ashe Stadium has been used for the Dynamite and Rampage Grand Slam events in recent years. The report noted that Forbidden Door III was "100%" set to happen at Arthur Ashe Stadium, but there are a lot of moving parts involved with the aforementioned internal changes. Furthermore, NJPW reportedly did not want to split the high production costs associated with running Arthur Ashe.
It was also said that Zarian has an idea of where Forbidden Door III will be held, but he hopes to reveal this information in the next week or so when he's able to fully confirm with sources. The company will likely make an official announcement in the next month.
