My Official Thoughts on AEW Forbidden Door

My Official Thoughts: I especially appreciated how the pacing of the show kept me engaged from start to finish, with very few slow spots throughout the night. The crowd energy in the arena added a ton to the presentation and made the big moments feel even more special. Storyline-wise, this event moved several key feuds forward in meaningful ways while still delivering satisfying finishes in the ring. Coming out of Forbidden Door, AEW has real momentum heading into ALL IN London, and I’m genuinely excited to see how these newly confirmed World Title matches play out on such a massive stage.

My AEW Forbidden Door Match of the Night:  Mercedes Moné vs. Maya World in a Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament Final Match | The Match Rating: ***** — This was an amazing pefroamnce, knowing Maya World is going through a lot in her life with the passing of her brother, and my condolences she did a marvelous job in this match she was the MVP I wanted her to win so badly I just wanted May World to pull through. I did have that gut feeling that Mercedes Moné was going to win, but in some parts I had Maya World getting the win. In the end, we saw Mercedes MOné punch her ticket to AEW ALL IN London as she’s now fighting for the AEW Women’s World Title, and for Maya World, she is going to be the next big superstar in that Women’s Division.

My AEW Forbidden Door Official Event Grade: 9.50/10 (A+) — I thought this was an all-around amazing event. I thought the majority of the matches delivered, and now ALL IN London World Title Matches for the Men's & Women's side are officially set.
