AEW Forbidden Door 2026 - Best Match on the Card So Far

[GhostRider89]

AEW Forbidden Door is on 28 June in San Jose, the annual crossover show with NJPW, CMLL and Stardom. The Owen Hart Cup tournament finals for both men and women will be decided at the show, with winners earning AEW World Championship matches.

The card is still building but the crossover format always produces at least one match that would not happen anywhere else in the world.

What are you most looking forward to and what match combination would make this a must-watch show?

[BigDogShane10]

The Owen Hart Cup finals are always the centrepiece and the tournament build has been good this year. Whoever they put in those spots has earned it through the bracket

[Mark94]

The NJPW crossover talent on the AEW card is what makes Forbidden Door unique. Seeing Okada in AEW matches against people he would not meet anywhere else is the whole point

[StayReadyKev91]

Stardom representation on this show tends to be underappreciated by Western audiences but the matches are usually technically excellent

[Adam2]

San Jose is a decent crowd for this kind of show. The Bay Area wrestling audience is knowledgeable and engaged

[NeuralTrace26]

Any match involving CMLL talent against AEW opponents is interesting because the styles are so different that you genuinely do not know what the match will look like

[Distant Sienna]

The Don Callis Family storyline carrying over into Forbidden Door creates stakes that connect to regular AEW continuity

[EventHorizon63]

My prediction for match of the night is whatever they put as the semi-main. Forbidden Door tends to bury the best match slightly on the card
