This summer, fans of AEW and NJPW can expect the unexpected during this extraordinary, first-
of–its-kind pay-per-view between our two incredible companies.”
“As we have done for more than 50 years, the power of pro-wrestling can energize people by
fulfilling their dreams,” said Takami Ohbari, President of NJPW. “Now, it’s quite an important
mission for us, the pro-wrestling industry as a whole. We are not only opening this door. We
will show you NJPW’s genuine Strong–Style beyond the Forbidden door.”
