Well, well, well, folks—get ready to pack your bags and dust off those Union Jack flags because AEW’s 2025 international adventure is making a detour in London! After ditching London for next year’s All In (they’ll be back in 2026, don’t worry), the city that’s famous for fog, Big Ben, and a certain queen’s love for corgis won’t be left out in the cold. AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 is set to kick down the doors of the UK, but hold your horses, because it probably won’t be Wembley welcoming this wrestling bash.
Now, before you go thinking it’s time to get lost in that massive Wembley crowd again, let me break it to you gently: Forbidden Door at Wembley Stadium is about as likely as spotting Bigfoot in Hyde Park. Wembley Arena, the O2, or Craven Cottage might be rolling out the welcome mat instead. Craven Cottage, of course, has that homey feel for AEW CEO Tony Khan, seeing as it’s in the same family as his Fulham Football Club. But hey, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned venue mystery?
This London gig marks a major milestone—it’s the first time AEW will rock a non-All In PPV across the pond. And they’re bringing along their Japanese pals from New Japan Pro-Wrestling to make sure the tickets fly off the shelves faster than a fish and chips order on a Friday night. We’re talking a star-studded lineup that’ll probably include legendary names like Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and the guy who gives “Rainmaker” a whole new meaning, Kazuchika Okada.
AEW’s been putting some serious mileage on their passports lately. After getting cozy with Canada, they threw a wrestling rager at Wembley last year that could probably be seen from space. Next year’s Forbidden Door promises to be another jaw-dropper, even if you might have to take the Tube to a new venue.
As for All In 2025? It’s trading London’s fog for Texas BBQ at Globe Life Field in Arlington. But don’t you worry, Londoners—they’ll be back to make some noise in 2026. Until then, get ready for Forbidden Door, where the wrestling action might just blow the roof off whatever venue they pick. You heard it here first—London’s getting another PPV, and it’s going to be a banger.
