AEW bringing in a top star to work Forbidden Door 3 - Reports

AEW and NJPW are gearing up for the third annual Forbidden Door pay-per-view event. AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2024 will be staged on Sunday, June 30, from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York.

While not confirmed, it's believed that this year's event will also feature CMLL and Stardom. The first two events had only New Japan and All Elite matches. Additionally, according to a new report from Cassidy Haynes at Bodyslam.net, Japanese wrestler Azumi (AZM) is set to feature in the marquee event.

Sources close to the Joshi star noted that she will return to the United States in June and feature on the Forbidden Door pay-per-view. All Elite sources didn't confirm the booking, but they said, "Anything is on the table for Forbidden Door."

AZM worked Saturday's AEW Collision episode, where she lost a Title Eliminator match to Women's World Champion Toni Storm. She also worked the recent ROH Supercard of Honor pre-show, teaming with Tam Nakano and Saya Kamitani for a loss to Mei Seira, Maika, and Mina Shirakawa.
