AEW x NJPW FORBIDDEN DOOR LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE

Sean here, as pre-show matches traditionally haven’t started until 7 pm Eastern and that’s when Claire reports for duty. Since tonight’s card is super-sized, the Zero Hour action started early (and since Tony Khan might even be trolling us at this point, he added a 15th match)…

Kyle Fletcher vs. Serpentico

An extended squash as the former ROH TV champ is apparently at war with luchadors after his bad night in Mexico City.

Kyle Fletcher wins by pinfall with the turnbuckle brainbuster.

Claire will have lyrics (probably) and proper play-by-play (definitely) here for you soon.

No lyrics because wrestling at 6:45 on a show that’s definitely going to midnight has me too cranky to hunt some down but I’ve been on a Bowie kick again because of all the Ziggy archival material that’s come out this year so feel free to fill in your favorite, if you like.

Gabe Kidd & Roderick Strong vs. Kings of the Black Throne (Brody King & Malakai Black) vs. Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen)

Post-match, Mariah May has a moment with Toni Storm and then Storm helps Mina Shirakawa up. Shirakawa offers a hand in respect and Toni takes it as May asks them to hug. They come in for a hug and then Mariah pulls both her girls in for a three-way kiss and y’know it’s wild but in all my years of polyamory and dating girls I’ve never once done a three-way kiss like that.

Anyway, my plans for later aside…!
