The Pop Break’s Senior Wrestling Writer Kimmy Sokol took part in the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 Media Scrum. The event took place at the UBS Arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, NY (aka Long Island). The show was third Forbidden Door collaboration between All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling (with Ring of Honor also a part of the show), but this was the first year wrestlers from Mexico’s oldest promotion CMLL and Japan’s Stardom promotion took part in the event.
In the fourth interview of our Forbidden Door Media Scrum Series, Swerve Strickland — the AEW World Heavyweight World Champion — discusses his role as the world champion, his match and friendship with Will Ospreay (who he defeated at Forbidden Door), getting a win back over Bryan Danielson and his legendary feud with Hangman Page.
