Zack Sabre Jr. will put his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on the line at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, and ZSJ’s opponent has now been confirmed.
All Elite Wrestling held their Collision tapings on August 14 (to air on August 16) with Hechicero, Daniel Garcia, Lee Moriarty, and Nigel McGuinness battling it out in four-way action to determine who would face TMDK’s leader on August 24.
A technical showcase featuring four of of AEW’s more grappling based names, it was McGuinness who got the win, forcing Moriarty to tap out as Garcia had Hechicero locked into the Dragontamer. In victory, McGuinness asked Garcia if he would corner him at Forbidden Door, a request ‘Red Death’ accepted.
Forbidden Door will be the first time McGuinness and Sabre Jr. will ever face off in singles competition, with their only previous interaction coming during the Casino Gauntlet match at All In 2024. Forbidden Door will also mark McGuinness’ sixth match since his in-ring retirement in 2011.
