Tonight's AEW Forbidden Door pay-per-view comes to us live from the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

The yearly event where AEW collides with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, CMLL, and STARDOM will be headlined this evening by a triple main event that will help set the stage for All Elite Wrestling on the road to All In: London this August.

In the finals of the Men's Owen Hart Tournament, we'll see a rematch from two years ago at this very pay-per-view as Will Ospreay goes one-on-one against Swerve Strickland. Two years ago, Strickland defeated Ospreay to retain the AEW World Championship. Now, with a shot at the title on the line this August at All In: London, Ospreay and Swerve both look to punch their ticket to the main event of AEW's most important event of the year.

On the flip side of the Women's Owen Hart Finals, last year's winner, Mercedes Moné, will defend her title against Maya World, who has been on an incredible run in this tournament. While Mercedes will just be fighting for another shot at the AEW Women's World Championship, Maya will be fighting for something even greater as she carries the memory of her brother, whom she tragically lost just a few weeks ago.

AEW World Champion MJF finds himself in a precarious situation as he teams with the Don Callis Family against Mark Briscoe, Darby Allin, Konosuke Takeshita, and Darby Allin inside a steel cage. If Briscoe's team wins, Mark gets a future AEW World Title shot.

Kenny Omega will also be looking for another shot at MJF's title this evening as he steps in the ring with Zack Sabre Jr. of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. It seems like MJF could have plenty of problems to deal with in the months ahead, after tonight is over.

AEW Forbidden Door results:

Drilla Moloney defeated Daniel Garcia (w/ Marina Shafir). This is the opening contest of the evening on the Buy In. The match is all Garcia early on, physically picking apart Moloney. Despite a few short bursts of offense, Garcia was in control for the majority of the matchup.

Moloney would rebound however in the closing moments, hitting Garcia with the Drilla Killa to score the pinfall victory.

Maika defeated Skye Blue (w/ Julia Hart) in a Survival of the Fittest qualifying match. Julia Hart was immediately forced to leave ringside, so this match will likely not have outside interference. Unlike the opener, this is a fairly even back-and-forth contest. It doesn't feel like either woman has been in full control of the match for any extended period of time.

Maika would nail Skye Blue with a brainbuster on the ring apron, turning the tide of the match in her favor. The finish of the match saw Maika hit Blue with a Michinoku Driver to score the pinfall victory.

Divine Dominion defeated Thunder Rosa and Olympia to retain the AEW Women's World Tag Team Titles. This is the final match on the Buy In; the main card is up next. The challengers came out of the gate hot, taking it to the champions, but it didn't take long for Megan Bayne and Lena Kross to take control of the contest.

Rosa and Olympia fought back and made it a close match a multiple points but it wasn't enough as Bayne and Olympia hit their double chokeslam on Thunder Rosa to score the pinfall victory.

It's time for the main show

Young Bucks defeated El Sky Team and Unbound Co. The crowd is INSANELY hot for Mistico early. Despite the Young Bucks wrestling close to home, they might not be the crowd favorites tonight. This is exactly the kind of match you would expect from these three teams. Quick-moving action with a lot of high risk, getting the crowd on its feet early on.

As the match went on, you would see the Young Bucks work together with Mistico and Mascara Dorada to take care of Titan and Shingo Takagi. Mistico would eventually lock Takagi in La Mistica, but the Young Bucks broke it up before Takagi could tap out. The finish saw the Young Bucks hit Titan with a Meltzer Driver to score the pinfall victory.

Kenny Omega defeated Zack Sabre Jr.. This match started slowly, with Zack working his slow, methodical technical style. However, Omega was able to pick up the pace and take the action to the ringside area in an attempt to throw ZSJ off his game plan. Omega was successful, slamming Sabre's head off the commentator's table multiple times.

Zack managed to regain control and take the match back in the ring, but Omega once again managed to change the speed of the matchup and turn things in his favor. Things would eventually settle down, and the match would turn into a back-and-forth contest, with neither man able to truly take control.

Late in the match, things would really pick up the pace as both Kenny and Zack got multiple near falls on one another. The crowd ate it up as ZSJ was able to reverse multiple One Winged Angels from Omega, but the Best Bout Machine finally landed the third one to score the pinfall victory.

Jon Moxley defends AEW gold against ROH World Champion Bandido

Jon Moxley defeated Bandido to retain the AEW Continental Championship. The match was pretty even early on between the champion and challenger, but Moxley hitting Bandido with a piledriver on the steel steps outside of the ring certainly swung things in favor of the champion. Bandido, wearing all white, was busted open in the process right above the mask, it's going to create quite the visual as the match moves on.

Moxley puts Bandido back in the ring and tears up his mask, drawing a lot of heat from the crowd for his heel tactics in this matchup. Bandido manages to change the tide of the matchup, picking up the pace and putting the champion on his heels. However, things swung back in Moxley's favor when he got his knees up to counter Bandido's frog splash.

Mox hits Bandido with a Death Rider, but Bandido kicks out at two, much to the champion's chagrin. Bandido would hit Moxley with Moonsault and Battery, but Moxley kicked out at two as well. The finish of the match saw Moxley lock Bandido in a grapevine sleeper hold until Bandido passed out. After the match, Moxley and Bandido shook hands in a sign of respect.

Shota Umino defeated PAC to retain the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. This match was fast-paced from the get-go, and neither man seemed intent on slowing down. PAC and Umino went back and forth early, but Umino was able to take advantage of the Death Rider out at ringside before taking the match back in the ring.

Umino's advantage wouldn't last long, as the two men continued to go back and forth, with neither man securing any advantage. Each man would score some close near falls, but the champion ultimately retained when he hit PAC with a Paradigm Shift, followed by a Northern Lights Driver to score the pinfall victory.

After the match, Jon Moxley would come out to confront Shota Umino. Before anything could happen, Hiroshi Tanahashi came out to the ring, and Moxley would take that opportunity to leave the ring. Tanahashi put the title around Umino's waist and raised his hand in victory.

Will Thekla get revenge on STARDOM?

Thekla defeated Starlight Kid to retain the AEW Women's World Championship. Thekla would get extremely physical with Starlight Kid outside of the ring early on, but getting in the face of the STARDOM President sitting at ringside gave Starlight Kid a small opening to get back into the match before Thekla took over things once again and took the match back into the ring.

Thekla's advantage didn't last long as Starlight Kid took control of the bout and targeted Thekla's knee. The limb damage kept the match relatively even from this point on. As the match went on, things started to turn in favor of the challenger, who got multiple near falls on the champion, but Thekla kept managing to kick out at the last possible moment.

Thekla would fight back and hit a vicious spear, but Starlight Kid kicked out at two. The champion would follow it up with two stomps to finally score the pinfall victory and retain her title. After the match, Skye Blue and Julia Hart would meet Thekla in the ring before Thekla ripped Starlight Kid's mask off and spat in it before heading to ringside and beating the STARDOM President with it.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defeated The Dogs to retain the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Once the match settled in, The Dogs controlled the pace of the matchup, targeting Christian Cage's injured forearm and keeping him on their side of the ring. Finlay and Connors tried to crush Cage's forearm under the steel steps, but Copeland got involved and stopped it, allowing Cage to make the hot tag moments later.

A few minutes later and The Dogs were back in control. They hit Copeland with High Low, but Cope kicks out at two. Cage hit Finlay with a spear but as Copeland went for the pin, Connors shoved Cage into the referee, knocking him out. Connors and Copeland have a spear off, and they collide at the same time taking each other out.

Finlay hits Cage with the shillelagh and is about to hit Copeland as well but the lights go out, when they come back on the Bang Bang Gang is on the stage. Using it as the ultimate distraction as Jay White appears behind Finlay in the ring and hits him with the Blade Runner. Copeland hits Finlay with a spear as the referee comes to and scores the pinfall victory.

The triple main event starts now!

Women's Owen Hart Tournament Finals: Mercedes Moné defeated Maya World. Maya started the match early, looking for multiple early pinfalls to try and take Mercedes off her game. Everything Mercedes attempted early on, Maya had an answer for. But eventually, two Meteora's from Mercedes, taking Maya outside of the ring, put things in The CEO's favor.

Things were going Mercedes' way for a while before she started trash-talking Maya, telling her she would never be able to beat her. This fired Maya up, and she responded with a nice string of offense. However, Mercedes took the match back over, hitting Maya with the Three Amigos.

Mercedes locks Maya in the Statement Maker, but Maya reverses it with a kick off the ropes into a pin for a two count. After a bit more offense, Maya hit Mercedes with a Swanton Bomb, but the CEO kicked out at two again. Mercedes regains control with a sunset flip powerbomb into the corner, followed by the double knees, and gets a two count of her own. This led to a Statement Maker, but Maya kicked out at two again, and the crowd went crazy for this kickout.

Maya goes back on the offensive and powerbombs Mercedes to the floor and follows it up with a moonsault off the top rope for another two count. Maya locks Mercedes in a Statement Maker, but Mercedes reverses it to one of her own. This leads to another reversal and a couple of near falls before Mercedes lands a vicious backstabber into another Statement Maker, winning the match by submission.

Will Mark Briscoe earn an AEW World Title shot inside a circular steel cage?

12-Man Cage match: Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, Konosuke Takeshita, and Darby Allin defeated MJF, Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, Andrade El Idolo, Jake Doyle, and Kevin Knight. This match is absolute chaos in every sense of the word. All 12 men are brawling in and out of the ring in the confines of a circular steel cage. Things were going well for Team DCMJF until MJF and Andrade started arguing, allowing Team Briscoe to take advantage.

Kyle O'Reilly knocked out Kyle Fletcher with an original Nintendo console. That isn't a typo; it really happened. Briscoe empties a pile of thumbtacks in the ring, but doesn't get to use them. Fletcher eventually throws Briscoe onto the thumbtacks instead. MJF tosses Darby into the pile of thumbtacks face-first, but only gets a two count. Friedman brings a broom into the ring to sweep all of the thumbtacks out of the ring.

Orange Cassidy low blows MJF with the broom, and Team Briscoe has an orange slice eating break before rubbing them on Fletcher's busted open head. We get some interaction between Takeshita and Okada before Fletcher gets involved, and Takeshita takes them both down. Briscoe takes down Knight before eating a steel chair to the head by MJF.

Friedman demands that Okada open the giant hockey bag that Team Briscoe brought out with them, but it contained Lio Rush. This gives Team Briscoe a man advantage, and the crowd freaking loves it. Rush has great moments with several members of the match before they overcome him, shove him back into the hockey bag, and place him under the ring.

This match is pure spectacle

At this point, several men go through tables. Everything is very chaotic. Kevin Knight climbed the cage to get the bag that Darby Allin left up there, but it was an explosive, and Knight fell off and landed through tables, allowing Allin to Coffin Drop a lot of Team DCMJF outside the ring. Briscoe hits MJF with the Jay Driller and gets a two count before Jake Doyle breaks up the pin.

MJF and Andrade get in an argument again. Friedman demands Andrade hold Briscoe. El Idolo picks him up but drops him and hits MJF with the spinning back elbow instead. Doyle gets up and Andrade kicks him in the dick. Andrade rips off his shirt to reveal a shirt that says "F--k Don F--k MJF." Briscoe hits Doyle with the Jay Driller and scores the pinfall victory for his team.

Lexy Nair speaks to Mark Briscoe backstage who announces he wants his AEW World Title shot against MJF this Wednesday night on Dynamite.

Will Swerve Strickland or Will Ospreay punch their ticket to Wembley Stadium?

Men's Owen Hart Tournament Finals: Will Ospreay defeated Swerve Strickland (w/ Prince Nana). Both Ospreay and Strickland have special DC Comics entrances. Ospreay came out as Bane while Strickland came out as Lobo. Ospreay was in control of the match early on until Strickland decided to target Ospreay's neck and slow down the pace of the matchup.

This match is incredibly physical and hard-hitting, with both Ospreay and Strickland giving each other their best shots. There are some new pinfalls, but neither man is going down this early. Outside of the ring, Ospreay locks a cross arm breaker on Swerve, who taps out, but nothing is going to happen outside of the ring. Prince Nana throws coffee in Ospreay's face to get him off of Strickland.

Ospreay goes after Nana, giving Strickland enough time to recover and lands a vicious apron powerbomb, followed by a slingshot into the exposed bottom bar of the turnbuckle. That move busted Ospreay wide open and put Strickland back in full control of the match.

Ospreay managed to fight back with some counters, but couldn't get full control back. Strickland hits Ospreay with a Deadeye but only gets a two count. The match goes to ringside and Ospreay busts Strickland open before slamming his head off the steel steps multiple times. Ospreay looks to piledrive Strickland on the steel steps but Nana gets involved again, distracting Ospreay long enough for Strickland to hit him with a House Call.

A bloody war at AEW Forbidden Door!

Strickland tries to hit Ospreay with a Vertebreaker on the steel steps but Ospreay reverses it into a Styles Clash onto of the commentator's table that doesn't break. The match returns to the ring and Ospreay is in full control, landing an Oz Cutter and multiple kicks and elbows. Ospreay hits Strickland with a Hidden Blade, but Swerve kicks out at two.

As both men are exhausted, Strickland hits Ospreay with a House Call, Ospreay kicks out at one and answers with a Hidden Blade, Swerve kicks out at one as well and both men run into each other and fall down. The referee goes to count both men down but they both get up at 8 as the crowd chants "fight forever." Ospreay hits another Hidden Blade and follows it up with Stormbreaker and Swerve STILL kicks out at two!

Strickland shoves Ospreay into the referee giving him an opportunity to kick him low while the referee collects himself. Swerve hits Ospreay with a Vertebreaker and he kicks out at two! Strickland follows it up with Big Pressure and Ospreay kicks out at two again! This brings out the Death Riders, who surround the ring in Ospreay's corner.

Strickland hits Ospreay with a House Call but he fires up and hits him with a Hidden Blade followed by a Buckshot Lariat but Swerve kicks out AGAIN! Ospreay fires up and hits Strickland with multiple Paradigm Shifts followed by a Tiger Driver '91 to FINALLY secure the pinfall victory.

Ospreay says something to Strickland before he leaves the ring. Will Ospreay celebrates with the Death Riders as AEW Forbidden Door goes off the air.
