There’s a possibility that Stardom could be a part of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.

Fightful Select has learned that Stardom and All Elite Wrestling have had conversations about the possibility of integrating Stardom talent into the highly anticipated Forbidden Door show. Those that we’ve spoken to from both sides indicated there have been some hurdles, but specifically Toni Storm was mentioned as a name for a Stardom talent to face.

We’ve been told that one of the main talking points is what Stardom talent would be available, as the company has their own show that same weekend. There have been discussions as to how to make it work, and it has been indicated to Fightful that it’s something All Elite Wrestling is hoping to make happen if they can pull it off.

We’ve also since learned that there were conversations with Stardom in 2022 for a similar booking. In the end, Thunder Rosa ended up facing Toni Storm instead.

FWPJR.

I would love to see Utami or Tam or Gulia wrestle Toni at FD, but I really need to see SLK wrestle anyone and I don’t care who it is ( I freaking love SLK )

Patrick Farrugia

I really really really hope it pans out. Would love to finally see some Stardom talent live.

Jason Cooper

Definitely not a coincidence that Jericho released a history of STARDOM episode this week.

Basically the entire Stardom Roster are booked on the 25th June Stardom Sunshine event. It's why they were hoping to get Mercedes.

All the top stars have matches the same day in Tokyo. would take 14 hours to fly to Toronto. https://wwr-stardom.com/schedule/20230625_yoyogi/?mc_id=777

Well I haven’t been able to keep up with it recently and I’m really behind, and I already know the website and I subscribe to STARDOM World. I’m just been busy so my bad.

Stew Sizer

No worries, just linked to the card that day. It's a stacked show

I appreciate it, tbh I really didn’t even know they had a big show coming up. With the way STARDOM World uploads the shows I’m always behind and I don’t read spoilers. So I’m probably a month or more behind because I haven’t had time to catch up, sorry if I came off as a dick.

Colin Mathie

I'll be interested to see if they can make it work, especially as Stardom have a ppv on that same day.

Konami isn't booked on the Stardom show on the 25th. She'd be the best option of those available.

Martin Holmes

Still, of the names available, she is one most associated with Stardom, and is really good.

Stew Sizer

Yeah i love Konami. I do think they'll get Syuri if anyone. Her match is easy to change

Leron Ford

Why didn’t these conversations take place sooner? They’ve known what the issues were since last year based on Tony’s response to a question asked in the post Forbidden Door scrum. It just seems like really poor planning to me.

Leron Ford

How long have these talks been going on? Because on the surface it seems like really poor planning on Tony’s part, especially in light of the issues he said he faced last year in trying to have Stardom talent be a part of the first Forbidden Door.

Jeffrey Pollard

Utami and SLK are part of big angle for the Stardom Sunshine show so they aren't being pulled

Troy A Palek

I'd imagine they have brought it up before but, just like almost every negotiation, deadlines create movement That's true in negotiations in all parts of life.
