The first two matches for this year’s AEWxNJPW: Forbidden
Door pay-per-view have been announced.
The current ROH Women’s champion, Athena, will be cashing in
her contract which she won by coming out on top at the
Casino Gauntlet battle royal at All In: Texas and will
challenge for the AEW Women’s title currently held by Toni
Storm.
This follows the action from Dynamite on Wednesday where
Athena pinned the champion after an O-Face in a tag team
match where she was joined by Billie Starkz against Storm
and Alex Windsor.
Also, the AEW Unified title is on the line as champ
Kazuchika Okada will defend against former AEW World
champion Swerve Strickland. Okada won the title at All In:
Texas in a winner-takes-all match against then-International
champion Kenny Omega.
