Tony Khan Addresses Rumors Of Goldberg Being Sting And Darby Allin’s Partner For Forbidden Door

Darby Allin and Sting are in need of a partner for Forbidden Door, but they will not reveal who until AEW Collision on Saturday night, just 24 hours before the trio take on Minoru Suzuki, Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara at the crossover event.

One popular theory has been that the teammate may in fact be Goldberg, who is currently a free agent after leaving WWE. These rumors have persisted since the announcement of the match on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

During the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door media call, Tony Khan addressed the rumors.

“I have had nice conversations with Bill about being involved with AEW at times. It’s a good thought. I don’t know if it would be the perfect fit for who Sting and Darby are going to bring to Collision this weekend, but I also want to leave all the doors open for them and their partner for Forbidden Door. It would ideally be somebody that would step in and be a good fit for the Forbidden Door show. Bill Goldberg is a legend in pro wrestling, one of the biggest names in the sport, and I have certainly had nice conversations with him at times. As for who Sting and Darby bring in this weekend, there have been a lot of guesses, and a lot of them have been more in line with New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s biggest names. Goldberg has gone over and competed in New Japan too. I’ve had nice talks with Bill about doing things with AEW, and that’s probably all I can say,”

We will have to wait and see who will be Darby and Sting’s partner, but it appears Tony Khan has ruled out the possibility of it being Goldberg. As mentioned previously, the partner will be revealed on Saturday’s edition of AEW Collision.
