AEW Forbidden Door 2024
Live from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz are here in the heart of Long Island, so let’s bring out the hometown boy.
Match #1. Hechicero vs. MJF
MJF out to a “he’s our scumbag” chant and here we go. Backflip by MJF and an eye poke. MJF sends Hechichero outside and bounces him off every guard rail he can find, as he now enjoys playing to the crowd. Running Broski Boot to Hechichero sends him into the front row. MJF plays to the crowd yet again on the apron, but Hechicero delivers an arm breaker over the top rope. Hechicero now wraps up MJF in a rear naked choke over the top rope before planting him with the Mad Scientist Bomb for a two count. Both men trade piledriver attempts but Hechichero settles for a huge running knee in the corner before doing the Fargo Strut, thus infuriating the crowd, and flipping everyone off. Hechichero runs through several submissions in a row, finishing the sequence with a double armbar using his legs, similiar to how Zack Sabre Jr. submitted Tanahashi at the ROH MSG show. MJF somehow makes it to the ropes. Mounted punches by MJF in the corner before biting the face of the masked man. Long Island Sunrise by MJF off the top! Sheer drop brainbuster by MJF! One, two, three!
Winner: MJF
Rating: ***. Fine opener with the hometown hero getting the win. MJF didn’t waste a lot of time and showed he can wrestle darn near any style.

THE REFEREE STOPS IT!
Winner: Bryan Danielson
Rating: ****1/2. Yeah, I loved every part of this. Scary moment in the beginning of this one but man oh man what an unbelievable battle. Shingo looked like a million bucks and Danielson did exactly what Bryan Danielson does. Banger. After banger. After banger. Give me more.
After the match, Danielson points to Shingo and wants the fans to cheer for him and they sure do.

Winner and STILL AEW Women’s World Champion: Toni Storm
Rating: ***1/4. Maybe a kickout or two too much here towards the end, but an excellent defense for Toni Storm. Mina looked really good here and I think we’ll be seeing more of her after Forbidden Door, and possibly a showdown between May and Storm at Wembley.
After the match, Mariah May hits the ring and looks conflicted. Storm picks up Mina and Mina shoves her away, before extending the arm. Both women shake hands and then… hug! Crowd loves it. And we get a triple kiss.
