Maximum Runtime Of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 Revealed

The upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view could be another lengthy show from All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door will emanate from The O2 in London, England on Sunday, August 24, with the pay-per-view's main card set to get underway at 6 pm BST. This ultimately means the show is able to have a maximum runtime of 4 hours and 30 minutes, as the curfew for The O2 doesn't begin until 10:30 pm.

AEW will likely look to avoid going beyond the curfew, however, as curfew rules produced by The O2's operators AEG and Transport for London include fines of up to £10,000 for every minute the show goes past 10:30 pm, according to The Sun.

All Elite Wrestling's pay-per-views have been lengthy affairs in 2025, with Revolution having a runtime of 4 hours and 5 minutes, while Dynasty clocked in at 4 hours and 23 minutes. May's Double or Nothing pay-per-view was 4 hours and 30 minutes, and All In was the longest pro wrestling pay-per-view ever at 5 hours and 53 minutes.
