It looks like we will finally see who will face off with Switchblade at Forbidden Door.
Since AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door was announced earlier this year, many have wondered who Switchblade Jay White would be squaring off with. When he became IWGP Heavyweight Champion, the wondering grew even louder. Now it looks like we will find out who will face White this Sunday, tonight.
During his appearance on Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan announced that fans will learn White’s opponent at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
“It’s going to start the IWGP Champion Jay White coming in tonight and we’re going to find out who he is going to wrestle. We’re going to announce more matches tonight on Dynamite for this big event,” he said. “Sometimes, if you open your mind, just checking out these different wrestlers, you’re going to see there are so many top stars there, whether they are from Japan or other countries. Just a lot of great wrestling stars and wrestlers in New Japan. For us going forward, we’re going to have new talent coming into AEW, too. There’s been a lot of challenges in planning and injuries on our side, also logistics. Some of the top stars in new Japan have not been here yet. Tonight on Dynamite, you will see more wrestlers and more involvement from New Japan than we’ve seen so far. We’ll see more of them and some of the stars we haven’t seen yet.”
