Forbidden Door In London – AEW Confirms 3rd International 2025 Event

AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door will take place in London, England for the first time ever next year, it has been confirmed. During the All In: London 2024 Zero Hour pre-show, it was confirmed that the roster of AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling will descend upon the UK capital on August 24, next year.

This news shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to some, as the event has been promoted outside Wembley Stadium in recent days. No venue has been announced for AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door 2025 as of this time.

AEW’s International 2025

Fans in the UK will get to see AEW and New Japan in action next year, but this will not be AEW’s only international event in 2025. In January, AEW will host its first Wrestle Dynasty event inside the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. The event will feature talent from AEW, STARDOM, NJPW, Ring of Honor, and CMLL.

The following month, AEW will go down under for its first Grand Slam: Australia event. This show will take place at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. News of this event was also broken during the AEW All In: London 2024 Zero Hour kick-off event.

Plans for AEW All In

While AEW has hosted two All In events in London, that won’t be the case next year. Instead, the show will take place in Arlington, Texas, marking AEW’s first stadium event in the United States. The show will return to the United Kingdom in 2026.

Marvel Meets AEW With Deadpool & Wolverine Tribute at All In: London

Marvel Comics’ Deadpool and Wolverine were shown some love in Wembley as part of AEW All In: London 2024. During the event’s Zero Hour kick-off event, Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Katsuyori Shibata, and The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall) defeated Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) and Cage of Agony (Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona).

For the match, Rhodes wore a red and black Deadpool-inspired attire, while his ROH World Tag Team Champions partner Guevara donned the yellow and blue of Wolverine.

It wasn’t just the faces who are fans of the latest blockbuster from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brian Cage also wore a Wolverine-inspired attire. Cage’s love of the Canadian mutant is no secret as he has dubbed himself ‘Swoleverine’ in the past.

Stokley Hathaway’s MJ Tribute

It wasn’t just Deadpool and Wolverine who were shown love during the AEW All In: London 2024 Zero Hour kick-off event. For his mixed tag-team match, Stokely Hathaway arrived on a golden bed carried by men and wore a matching golden attire. On commentary, it was pointed out that this was a tribute to the King of Pop Michael Jackson from the late musician’s Remember The Time music video.

Willow Nightingale and Tomohiro Ishii defeated Hathaway and Kris Statlander, meaning Nightingale and Ishii will choose the stipulation for Willow Vs. Kris at AEW All Out. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from AEW All In: London 2024 pay-per-view, including breaking news and live results.

Jamie Hayter Debuts New Look In AEW All In: London 2024 Return

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter has made her return with a new look at All In: London 2024. During the event’s Zero Hour kick-off event, Saraya, joined by an entourage including her family members and Harley Cameron, attempted to hold the show hostage. Saraya refused to let the show go on due to her not being booked. The ex-WWE Superstar captured the AEW Women’s World Championship at last year’s All In: London pay-per-view.

Saraya claimed to be the best women’s wrestler to come out of England, a remark that brought out Hayter to the shock of the fans, Saraya, and her entourage. Hayter arrived with a striking new look and attacked Saraya, sending her fellow former champion running from the ring.

The appearance marks Hayter’s first appearance in AEW since last year’s Double or Nothing in May of 2023. At that event, she lost the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm. Since then, Hayter has been out with a shoulder injury and there was no timeline for her return as of February of this year.

Hayter had been AEW Women’s World Champion for over six months when her injury took place, and she has been with AEW full-time since August 2021. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for the latest on Jamie Hayter and all the excitement of All In: London 2024.

Swerve Strickland Signs New AEW Deal Ahead of All In: London Title Defense

AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland will be staying with AEW after inking a new deal, just hours before the biggest match of his career. On the AEW All In: London 2024 Zero Hour show, footage was shown of Strickland inking a brand new contract which was also signed by AEW President Tony Khan.

Strickland signing a new AEW deal comes shortly before he defends the AEW World Championship at All In: London 2024. In the show’s main event, Strickland will put his gold on the line against Bryan Danielson. The American Dragon earned the title match by winning the Owen Hart Foundation 2024 Men’s Tournament.

Danielson has vowed to retire from in-ring competition if he does not win the AEW World Championship tonight. Ever the resilient champion, Strickland has said he has no issue with the idea of being the one to end the career of his immensely popular challenger. AEW All In: London 2024 will mark Danielson’s first time competing in Wembley Stadium and the second time for Strickland.

News of this massive event comes a week and a half after it was reported that AEW was planning a stadium show in Australia. Other venues that had reportedly been discussed include Sydney’s Allianz Stadium and Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.

Suncorp Stadium first opened its doors in 1914 and boasts a max capacity of 52,500 seats. Nicknamed ‘The Cauldron,’ Suncorp Stadium has already hosted several sporting events and is home to the Brisbane Broncos, the Dolphins, the Queensland Reds and the Queensland Maroons.

AEW’s Stadium Events

This will be AEW’s latest stadium-sized event and will come after two AEW All In pay-per-views in London’s Wembley Stadium. All In 2025 will take place in Arlington, Texas, marking the first stadium show for Tony Khan’s promotion in the United States.

Pro-Wrestling & Australia

Mariah May Plans NSFW Celebration if she Beats Toni Storm at AEW All In

Mariah May has stirred up a fair amount of excitement ahead of her upcoming championship match at AEW All In. The rising star recently revealed her unconventional plans for a post-match celebration, promising a “no bikini” celebration if she defeats Toni Storm to become the new AEW Women’s World Champion.

The Road to AEW All In

Mariah May is set to face Toni Storm at Wembley Stadium in London tonight on August 25th, 2024. Since joining AEW last November, May has quickly made a name for herself, initially aligning with Toni Storm. Their partnership, however, took a dramatic turn when May turned on Storm, setting the stage for their intense rivalry leading up to this contest.

Mariah May’s Celebration Plans

In a recent interview with Fightful, Mariah May hinted at her unique plans for celebrating a potential victory over Toni Storm. Drawing inspiration from Shawn Michaels’ iconic Playgirl photoshoot and Mandy Rose’s NXT Women’s Championship celebration, May teased that she might celebrate her win with “no bikini.”

A New Chapter for Mariah May

If Mariah May emerges victorious at AEW All In, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter in her wrestling career. Not only would she claim the title of AEW Women’s World Champion, but she would also solidify her status as one of the most daring and entertaining talents in the industry.

AEW All In Rumors: Shane McMahon, Ricochet and more

As AEW All In approaches, speculation about potential signings and matchups is at an all-time high. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest rumors surrounding the event.

Michael Oku

One of the hottest topics is the possible signing of Michael Oku, a standout talent from the British wrestling scene.

Oku, who currently holds the Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship at Revolution Pro, has been rumored to be in talks with AEW.

Although Oku expressed excitement about the rumors during a recent podcast interview, he confirmed that no deal is currently in place.

Oku hinted at the possibility of performing at Wembley Stadium, a dream for many wrestlers, but remained non-committal about any concrete plans with AEW.

The Young Bucks’ Cryptic Message

Adding fuel to the fire, The Young Bucks recently sent out a cryptic message on social media. The Bucks noted on the bio for their X account that they are: “Engagement farming feed. You either hate us, or you really hate us. Full-time part-timers. Could’ve retired after our ROH run. Your EVPs.”

Whether this feeds into their match at All In remains to be seen, but they are set to face FTR and The Acclaimed.

Ricochet and Shane McMahon

Former WWE Superstar Ricochet and Shane McMahon are also two names that are being rumored heavily for the event.

Although Ricochet seems almost like a dead cert, possibly appearing after the Ospreay vs MJF match, McMahon feels way more unlikely.

Biggest Week in AEW History

Tony Khan has also teased that this will be the “biggest week” in company history, noting the following on his X account:

Other Surprises

AEW All In, set to take place at Wembley Stadium, is expected to be a landmark event with potential surprise appearances, especially in the Casino Battle Royale match.

MJF Says His Dynamite Diamond Ring Has Been Stolen In London

MJF has revealed that his Dynamite Diamond Ring has been stolen ahead of today’s ALL IN PPV from Wembley Stadium in London.

The American Champion revealed the news on Twitter earlier today saying that UK is a godless and lawless country:

The Dynamite Diamond Ring was first introduced back in November 2019 as a reward for the winner of the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale.

Originally the battle royal concluded when 2 members remained in the ring. The final 2 contestants then faced each other in a match with the winner getting the reward.

Maxwell and Adam Cole were the last two competitors for the inaugural battle royal with MJF subsequently defeating the Undisputed Era star to win the ring.

The 28-year-old continued his winning streak for the next two years and defeated Orange Cassidy in 2020 and Dante Martin in 2021 to retain possession of the ring.

The rules were changed in 2022 due to MJF’s exceptional success with the winner of the battle royal facing the Salt of The Earth directly for the prize.

Ricky Starks and Juice Robinson won the battle royal in 2022 and 2023 respectively but they both failed to take the ring away from the former AEW champion.

Cody Rhodes had stated that the original Dynamite Diamond Ring was valued at $42,000. The design was updated in 2021 with the claim that it was now worth $150,000.

It’s unknown if the ring going missing is part of a storyline for today’s PPV or if the artifact has actually been stolen. We’ll update the story with more details when they become available.

Bryan Danielson Wishes To ‘Disappear’ After Wrestling Retirement

Bryan Danielson wants to move away from the spotlight after he has retired from wrestling.

The 43-year-old will be putting his career on the line when he challenges Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title at Sunday’s All In event. Bryan has previously revealed that his contract with the company has already expired, so there is a lot of chatter about what he plans to do after the show.

Tony Khan has stated multiple times that he would love for Danielson to stick around in whatever role he sees fit. For someone as knowledgeable as the wrestling veteran, there are a lot of career opportunities even if he chooses to never wrestle again.

During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, fellow WWE alumni Dean Muhtadi asked the AEW star about his plans after his retirement. Bryan explained that a lot of options have been presented to him, but he isn’t interested in any of them:

“So I don’t know. I’ve had people want me to do lots of things and I don’t really want to do any of them. I’d really like to just disappear. At least from the public eye.

What I’d really like to do is help with the community, help with…like be involved in my kids’ lives. As far as like my wife got to coach our son’s t-ball team last year, I’d love to be able to do that this year. Those sorts of things. Those are the kind of things that I’m putting focus and priority on.

I’d Like To Just Retreat Into The Forest: Bryan Danielson

Bryan Danielson then revealed an interesting conversation he had with fellow BCC member Claudio Castagnoli, while also discussing the downsides of being in the spotlight:

“Claudio had just mentioned to me on Wednesday when we were driving back to our hotel after Dynamite, he goes, ‘You know, Bryan, whenever you’re done, I kind of hope I never see you again.’ What he meant by that, and then he added later, he was like, ‘I mean I’d love to come visit you at your house, like far away from everybody, but I kind of hope that that’s it.’

Because I think he kind of knows that that’s what I want. You know what I mean it’s to kind of disappear. There’s definitely benefits to being in the spotlight but then there’s also a lot of trade-offs. I think sometimes if you experience mental health issues and stuff like that, being in the spotlight isn’t necessarily a good thing.

So yeah, I’d like to just kind of retreat into the forest. I don’t watch a lot of TV but I vaguely remember Homer Simpson, he’s in the bushes and he just slowly disappears out, right. That’s me but into the woods.”

AEW All In will be coming live from the Wembley stadium in London. International viewers can check out local start times and other details for the show here.

Darby Allin Calls Out “Ungrateful” Jack Perry Over AEW All In Drama

Darby Allin isn’t holding back his feelings about Jack Perry and the infamous All In: London 2023 incident that reshaped Perry’s career. In an interview with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, Allin didn’t mince words, calling Perry “ungrateful” for his actions at last year’s event.

“You think of 80,000-plus fans, and then you’re gonna go into business for yourself. There are literally people who would die for that opportunity, people who will never get to do that, and then you’re more focused on that.”

Perry’s ‘real glass’ comment during last year’s match with HOOK resulted in a backstage altercation with CM Punk that in the eyes of many, overshadowed AEW’s first stadium event. At the post-show media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan acknowledged that an incident had taken place but said he would not be taking questions on the matter.

Punk was released for his role in the altercation, and would return to WWE a few months later at Survivor Series in Chicago. While Perry was hit with a lengthy suspension, the incident has redefined the AEW TNT Champion as the ‘Scapegoat’ and his change of character has made him one of AEW’s top stars.

AEW aired the footage of the backstage altercation in April of this year, days after Punk made unflattering comments about AEW on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour podcast. On TV, the decision to air the footage was explained as the Young Bucks justifying their 2023 loss to FTR, saying they’d been distracted by the backstage ordeal.

What’s to Come?

Jack Perry will defend the AEW TNT Championship against Darby Allin later today at AEW All In: London 2024. The pair will collide in a Coffin Match in what has become one of the most personal and intense rivalries in AEW today. AEW All In: London 2024 will take place from Wembley Stadium in London, England. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from the show including breaking news and live results.

May Vs. Storm – The Story So Far

Mariah May shocked the wrestling world by turning on Toni Storm after winning the 2023 Owen Hart Women’s Foundation Tournament. Storm was left a bloody mess due to the attack the feud has only intensified since then, with Storm even going so far as to ask May if she is “ready to die.”

The pair had previously been allies on TV with May helping Storm in her efforts to remain AEW Women’s World Champion. This weekend’s match will mark May’s first time competing inside Wembley Stadium and the second for Storm who wrestled at All In 2023.

Mercedes Mone – ‘I Feel Seen in AEW, That Hasn’t Always Been The Case’

AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone feels truly seen as part of Tony Khan’s first promotion and has said that hasn’t always been the case in her career. Writing for The Independent ahead of this weekend’ AEW All In: London 2024 event, Mone spoke of the respect she is shown as an ‘All Elite’ talent.

“In WWE you have no idea what you’ll be doing week to week, but here I have space to be heard. Along with Tony Khan and with my friend and personal writer Jennifer Pepperman, there’s time to sit down and really plan out the kinds of stories we want to tell.

“I’m treated with genuine respect, and I really feel seen in a way I sometimes haven’t before. I love it so much here.”

Mone joined AEW at the Big Business: Dynamite show in March of this year, close to two years after she and Naomi walked out of WWE in May of 2022. Mone would subsequently join New Japan Pro Wrestling where she is a former IWGP Women’s Champion.

What’s To Come?

Mone will put her TBS Championship on the line at AEW All In: London 2024 against Britt Baker, a match fans have been itching to see long before Mone was ‘All Elite.’ On this week’s Dynamite, Baker addressed Mone’s past as ‘one of four’ (a nod to her role in WWE’s Four Horsewomen) while the DMD sees herself as one-of-a-kind.

AEW All In: London 2024 will take place tomorrow, August 25, from Wembley Stadium in London, England. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest on All In: London 2024, including live results.

Swerve Strickland Opens Up About The Lowest Point of His Wrestling Career

Swerve Strickland is at the top of the wrestling world right now. The journey of this success, however, hasn’t been an easy one and he has had to go through some very tough times to get here.

The AEW World Champion recently had an interview with SHAK Wrestling. He discussed things such as his pairing with Prince Nana, who would win a match between Kendrick Lamar and Drake and more.

During the interview, Strickland was asked about his struggles and what was the lowest point of his career. The AEW star mentioned that it was right before he got the Lucha Underground opportunity:

“Definitely earlier on. Feeling lowest was like probably right before Lucha Underground came around. It was like, ‘oh man, it’s either I continue on this independence or I just got to go to Japan for a year, find a way to do that,’ Which I still didn’t have like a real connection or any type of link to get to that.

Either that or just like I’m gonna have to go full-time active duty in the military. It was like that turning point, and then Lucha Underground came in as an opportunity. It wasn’t even just a contract; it was more of like a tryout for Lucha Underground in dark matches. They didn’t even know yet.”

The Lowest Point

Swerve Strickland started wrestling while he was still serving in the United States Army Reserve. Having to balance his day job with his wrestling aspirations while also having little kids was almost an impossible task for him:

“So that was probably the most turning point because it was like two kids, employment wasn’t really working out as much. Check to check, check to check, like little cash here and there on the independence. But that was probably the lowest point.

[I] didn’t even have a car, I was definitely borrowing cars or getting on the train to get to Philadelphia for CCW events or jumping in carpools and rides and things like that. There’s just a lot going on. Trying to maintain a successful wrestling career and a job consistent employment, almost impossible. Probably harder nowadays than it was 10 years ago. So that’s definitely like my turning point though.”

Fortunately for Swerve, Lucha Underground signed him to a contract in 2014. He quickly became one of the most prominent characters of the show wrestling under the ring name of Killshot.

The Lucha Underground run opened the doors for Strickland’s WWE signing in 2019. When the company let him go while cutting costs during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, Swerve joined AEW and the rest is history.

Tony Khan Gives Update on Ricky Starks Amid AEW Star’s Hiatus

AEW President Tony Khan has given an update on Ricky Starks, close to five months since the former World Tag Team Champion last competed. Speaking on a media call ahead of AEW All In: London 2024, Khan was asked about Starks who last appeared in a tag-team loss on the March 30, edition of AEW Collision.

Khan called Starks a “great star” of AEW and someone who has had “great matches here.” The AEW President confirmed that Starks remains under contract with AEW and is “a well-regarded wrestler.” Khan stopped short of saying when fans should expect to see the former Tag Team and FTW Champion back in the ring.

Ricky Starks’ AEW Status

Khan’s comments come after multiple reports suggesting that Starks not only has one foot out of the door but is set to join WWE when the time is right. It has been claimed that AEW has been reluctant to use Starks as some within the company believe he is set to leave for WWE and therefore don’t want to invest in him.

The 34-year-old wrestler has reportedly drawn interest from WWE with NXT sources stating they hope to bring him to the gold brand. Starks is a good friend of WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes and was spotted at last year’s Royal Rumble PLE. Rhodes is one of a handful of AEW alum to thrive in WWE, alongside Jade Cargill, NXT Champion Ethan Page, Lexis King, and Shawn Spears.

Ricky Starks is oblivious about the circumstances of why he’s spent most of 2024 on the sidelines in AEW. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest on Ricky Starks and whether his wrestling future is in AEW or elsewhere.

Ricochet is Reportedly All Elite and London Bound

Former WWE Superstar Ricochet is expected to debut for AEW imminently. The former Intercontinental champion was abruptly written off television in June. By the end of the month, it was rumored that he and WWE failed to agree on a new contract, and he’d soon be a free agent for the first time since 2018. Amid speculation about his next move, AEW President Tony Khan added to the hype by praising Ricochet as, “one of the most exciting stars in all of wrestling.”

Ricochet has reached a multi-year agreement to join All Elite Wrestling, according to Fightful Select. The 35-year-old high-flyer is on his way to London, and is expected to have a role at Sunday’s AEW All In pay-per-view.

Wembley Stadium is a grand stage to debut, and the Casino Gauntlet match just got even more interesting, as it often includes surprise appearances. Ricochet lost the WWE Speed championship to Andrade in his final match.

Mariah May: AEW Asked Me To Stop Kissing Mina Shirakawa

Mariah May was encouraged to stop with public displays of affection with Mina Shirakawa and Toni Storm by AEW, according to the British wrestler herself. Speaking on the Wrestling with Freddie podcast, May recalled the backstage reaction to her locking lips with her long-time tag-team partner Shirakawa during an episode of AEW programming.

“It was not pitched. We just did it. Mina and I are extremely close. We’ve always been very close in Stardom. We just did it. The next time around, they were like, ‘Hey, can you guys stop kissing?’”

May blamed the request on an “archaic view” of things, adding that it’s her choice who she kisses and she would say if she was not comfortable. The number-one contender for the AEW Women’s World Champion added that her kissing Mina earned gripes from “the usual suspects.”

“‘Oh my God. This is setting women’s wrestling back so much.’ It’s like, first of all, no one made us do it. We chose to do it... Like I said, if I don’t want to do something, I won’t.”

May and Mina kissed shortly after Shirakawa’s arrival in AEW earlier this year. The two also shared a three-way kiss with Toni Storm at AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door after Storm retained her title against Shirakawa. Storm and May had previously kissed on AEW programming.

What’s To Come?

May has had little reason to kiss anyone ever since turning on Storm following her win in the Owen Hart Women’s Foundation Tournament. The former allies will face off at AEW All In: London 2024 this Sunday inside Wembley Stadium. The show will be a homecoming for May though she has yet to compete inside Wembley. The match will be Storm’s second match in the Stadium after competing at last year’s All In: London pay-per-view.
