It's still Swerve's House. The main event of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door saw the clash of two titans in AEW that are both currently champions. Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland has been a match for the ages since Ospreay signed with AEW earlier this year. The two have faced off against one another a few times in their careers, but it's hard to argue that they're both at their peak currently. With Ospreay holding the International Championship, it laid the groundwork for the first AEW World Champion and International Champion simultaneously if one of them dethroned the other. Fortunately, the reign of Swerve isn't over just yet.

The following is an opinion-based preview and does not reflect the views of the website. The Forbidden Door doesn’t seem as forbidden this year. With the cross-pollination of talent built through AEW’s working relationships with CMLL and NJPW, the newness of the event isn’t what it was. These relationships are undeniably good. The influx of CMLL talent in AEW on a more regular basis had led to some of the better matches on AEW TV this year, but it does make this event lose some of its rarity.
