AEW Forbidden Door 2024: Results, time, card and buy-in info for Zero Hour and more

All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling will host their third annual Forbidden Door crossover show in Elmont, New York this Sunday. But this year’s event might be the biggest yet with wrestlers representing AEW, NJPW, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, and World Wonder Ring Stardom all participating in the massive show.

Of course, the biggest match of the night will be a showdown between AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay. However, other intriguing matches to look out for include the six-man ladder match for the vacant TNT title, Jon Moxley vs. Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and the AEW Women’s World Championship match between Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa.

Follow along live as we provide to-the-minute updates on the event.

Mistico and The Lucha Bros draw “Holy S**t” chants

Forbidden Door has become known for its ability to create dream matchups fans never thought they’d get to see. This was one of those matchups, and even before the fight started, fans in attendance were chanting “Holy s**t” in response to Mistico’s entrance.

It was all Mariah May to kick off the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament Quarterfinal. Saraya looked out of sorts and completely lethargic until a hair pull introduced Mariah May’s face to the ring. It was enough of a momentum shift to bring some intrigue into a waning match.

Mariah May, getting comfortable with all portions of the ring, had her face sandwiched between the top and Saraya’s foot. But it preceded a head butt that equaled the playing field—each wrestler then exchanged blows for what only seemed like hours.

Toni Storm makes a cameo for a match that was all about distractions. Just a second before a brutal loss, Mariah May finds the rope and that was enough to keep things going. That mistake will haunt Saraya, who moments later loses out to a reinvigorated Maria May.

A perfect aperitif to what we will get in Forbidden Door, this tag team barrage was as hard-hitting as you would have hoped for; there was a nice amount of bad blood savagery between Statlander and Nightengale, giving the match enough emotion to keep us riveted.

Was there any of the four going through more of an emotional and physical roller coaster than Tam Nakano? She was on the wrong side of the canvas so many times in this one, but in the end, she found her moment and took Momo Watanabe down with a stirring exclamation.

Early on, there wasn’t much four-way action in the center of the ring. More often than not, the match was between just two men trading blows, but as the match progressed, the more intense it got.

Private Party was the first team to get an opportunity to win, with Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen landing several blows on Gabe Kidd. Kassidy’s pin attempt on Kidd did not land though.

Soon afterwards, Kidd and Strong got into a small fight with one another while attempting to take down Kyle O’Reilly. That feud was all O’Reilly needed to escape and tag in Tomohiro Ishii, who proceeded to take out several other fighters. Ultimately, Ishii would have the opportunity to win with a pin on Brody King, but Quen broke it up.

Ishii continued to impress throughout the match, taking blow after blow after blow only ever faltering after a huge hit from Kidd. In the end though, Ishii would not be able to secure the win for his team. It ended up being the House of Black, specifically Brody King, pinning Isiah Kennedy for the win.

Kyle Fletcher, who is not fond of lucha libre, wasted no time attempting to tear off Serpentico’s mask in this one. Flethcer was on a two-match losing streak heading into this match, and needed a win desperately. He came out of the gates hot, and even when he had opportunities to defeat Serpentico, he continued playing with his food.

Normally, you’d expect that to lead to a humiliating loss for Fletcher, but that is not what happened. It was hard, non-stop domination from Fletcher, which led to a much-needed win in less than five minutes.
