The forbidden door swings open for the fourth time -- this time in the UK -- when AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling combine for one night only on PPV.com and Amazon Prime.

In the main event of the show this year, MJF challenges Adam Page for the AEW World Championship. Both men have played mind games with the other in the build to their match, but the question is whether or not Page can control his emotions during the bout.

The world championship can change hands on a disqualification and MJF will certainly be using his usual tactics to get Page off his game. Will Page successfully defend the championship against one of his top rivals? We'll find out at AEW Forbidden Door 2025.

In the women's division, Toni Storm looks to continue here supremacy as champion when she defends the AEW Women's World Championship against Athena. Athena is the longest reigning ROH Women's World Champion in history and she looks to add a second championship to her waist.

Other announced matches for the show include Kazuchika Okada vs. Swerve Strickland for the AEW Unified Championship and a Lights Out Cage Match between Team Will Ospreay and Team Death Riders.
