Rocky Romero talks Forbidden Door.
In June, AEW and NJPW will present the annual Forbidden Door event for the third time. The event, which originated in 2022, host matches that combine talent from both promotions. This year, fans suspect that STARDOM or CMLL talent will also presence at the event.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Rocky Romero was asked about Forbidden Door potentially expanding this year.
"I think the Forbidden Door concept embodies that. It means anybody from anywhere can show up. It will always stay as an AEW and New Japan official promoted show, both companies together. Using those resources and their connections, bringing in other promotion like STARDOM. STARDOM will definitely be part of Forbidden Door this year. It’s very likely CMLL will have participation in Forbidden Door, and then, who knows. The sky is the limit."
Romero went on to talk about how AEW and NJPW needed to hash some stuff before coming together for a working relationship.
"For sure, that’s why it’s called the Forbidden Door. In the early days of AEW, there was some stuff that needed to be hashed out between both companies. Jericho was influential in kind of getting that started. Mox came in and did the same thing as Jericho. Kenny Omega was another person that had a lot to say in helping the relationship. When Tony and I finally sat down and we talked and cleared the air, I went back to New Japan and told them about our meeting. The doors were open and the Forbidden Door concept started."
