AEW Forbidden Door 2025 is here — and while the match card looks incredible with bouts like MJF vs Hangman Adam Page, Zack Sabre Jr. vs Nigel McGuinness, and Kyle Fletcher vs Hiromu Takahashi, the big question remains: has the Forbidden Door concept run its course?
In this video, Peter Klein, an MMA/WWE analyst with a 15-year track record takes a smart look at AEW’s latest Forbidden Door PPV, breaking down the strengths of the lineup and why, despite some dream matches, the timing and execution of the concept feel off in 2025. From New Japan’s struggles, to the lack of true “special attraction” crossover matches, to how AEW could fix Forbidden Door going forward, this is a thoughtful dive into one of wrestling’s most unique shows.
