A dream match is coming to fruition.
Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, & Hiroshi Tanahashi successfully defended their NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Titles against Jon Moxley, Shota Umino, & Claudio Castagnoli at NJPW Dominion. The finish saw Okada pin Umino after a rainmaker.
Once the bout ended, Moxley grabbed the mic and said he had a message from the best wrestler in the world.
Bryan Danielson appeared on the big screen, challenging Okada to a match. Okada accepted, saying the Forbidden Door would be open teasing the bout for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 on June 25.
