Production
Background
In February 2021, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) started a partnership with the Japanese promotion, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). [1] After a year of AEW and NJPW wrestlers appearing on each other's shows, the two companies co-promoted a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled Forbidden Door in June 2022. [2] The event took its name from the same term often used by AEW when referring to working with other professional wrestling promotions. [3] On March 15, 2023, a second Forbidden Door event between AEW and NJPW was held on June 25, 2023, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, thus establishing Forbidden Door as an annual event between the two companies. [4] [5]
On April 11, 2024, AEW announced that the third Forbidden Door would take place on June 30, 2024, at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. [6] [7]
Storylines
Forbidden Door will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. [8]
