The 'Forbidden Door' was well and truly kicked open at Slammiversary when New Japan Pro Wrestling's Jay White appeared after the main event to confront AEW's Kenny Omega inside an IMPACT Wrestling ring.
White isn't the first NJPW star to appear on IMPACT Wrestling recently. The tag team FinJuice appeared and also won the IMPACT Tag Team Titles, and Satoshi Kojima made an appearance too.

With Bound For Glorly on its way and the promise of more inter-promotional appearances, more NJPW Wrestlers will appear at IMPACT.
Here are five New Japan Pro Wrestling stars we'd love to see appear for IMPACT Wrestling.
#5. Will Ospreay would be sensational in IMPACT Wrestling's X-Division
Will Ospreay is currently in New Japan Pro Wrestling and recently relinquished the IGWP World Heavyweight Title due to injury. It's not known when he will return.
But when he does, Ospreay should spend time in IMPACT Wrestling because he would be a natural fit for the promotion's X-Division despite being a heavyweight.
Ospreay, nicknamed the Aerial Assassin, is one of professional wrestling's best high-flyers. He would put on some spectacles in the X-Division and it's hard to predict how much he will delight the audience in an Ultimate X match.
#4. Shingo Takagi could remain the best in the world at IMPACT Wrestling
Shingo Takagi would kill it at IMPACT Wrestling. There are arguments that he's the best wrestler in the world based on his work at New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Takagi has had incredible matches with Jeff Cobb, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Will Ospreay, and Kazuchika Okada and will mostly have a classic when he clashes with Kota Ibushi soon.
Tagaki seems to get a world-class wrestling match out of anyone, which makes him perfect at IMPACT against its established veterans and promising up-and-coming talent.
#3. Kazuchika Okada gets IMPACT Wrestling redemption
Okada was without doubt the world's best wrestler during his record-breaking IWGP World Heavyweight Title run, where he seemed completely unstoppable.
Before that, he wrestled seven matches for IMPACT (then TNA), and lost most of them. He was defeated by the likes of Kazarian, Stevie Richards, and The Motor City Machine Guns. It's safe to say that they didn't realize what a star The Rainmaker could be.
It would be great to see Okada return to IMPACT Wrestling now that he's established himself as one of the best in the world, and to get treated like it this time around.
#2. Kota Ibushi would be brilliant at IMPACT Wrestling
Similar to Will Ospreay, many people would pay a lot of money to see Ibushi in an Ultimate X match on IMPACT Wrestling. Ibushi has established himself as one of the top guys in all of wrestling and would be brilliant at whatever IMPACT would have him do.
But there's another big reason to have Kota Ibushi over, and that's Kenny Omega being the reigning IMPACT World Champion.
The possibility of a Golden Lovers' reunion is one that shouldn't be passed up, especially as it seems the company is redoing Omega and White! So why not redo Omega and Ibushi as well!
#1. Jon Moxley would be right at home in IMPACT Wrestling
Jon Moxley has enjoyed a great run after leaving WWE, which includes a violent Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch against Kenny Omega and a match against Josh Barnett for his Bloodsport shows.
That's why he'd fit in with the violent wrestlers of IMPACT Wrestling, with the likes of Sami Callihan, Violent By Design, and Eddie Edwards get hardcore whenever they want.
Moxley is one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling right now, and the reigning IWGP United States Champion will certainly find exciting new challengers at IMPACT Wrestling.
