AEW Confirms Adam Page vs MJF for Forbidden Door Main Event
AEW has officially announced the main event for its upcoming cross-promotional event with NJPW, Forbidden Door. On the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, it was confirmed that “Hangman” Adam Page will put his AEW World Championship on the line against MJF, continuing one of the most intense rivalries in recent wrestling history.
The announcement came during a tense confrontation in the center of the ring, where MJF formally declared that he would cash in the contract he earned for a guaranteed World Title match at the pay-per-view. The challenger made it clear that he is determined to win the championship in London and does not intend to hold back against Page.
MJF secured the title opportunity by triumphing in the Casino Gauntlet at the All In: Texas event on July 12. Since that victory, he and Page have engaged in a heated verbal exchange, with MJF claiming that he could defeat Page without relying on the contract. Page has consistently rejected the notion, insisting that MJF earn the championship the hard way. Their dynamic has developed into one of AEW’s most compelling ongoing storylines, blending personal animosity with professional stakes.
This match marks a rematch between the two competitors, who last faced off at the Revolution pay-per-view in March 2025. That encounter helped cement their rivalry as a central focus of AEW programming. Both men have been described by fans and analysts as pillars of the company, representing its balance of athleticism, charisma, and storytelling. Their feud has also been amplified by the involvement of allies and friends, creating layers of personal tension that extend beyond the championship itself.
In recent weeks, the build-up to Forbidden Door has escalated further. MJF defeated Page’s close associate, Mark Briscoe, in a controversial finish on Dynamite. The outcome sparked a heated brawl between Page and MJF, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the championship showdown. The intensity of the feud has become a focal point for AEW storylines, ensuring that the title match will carry both emotional weight and high-stakes action.
The AEW World Championship match will headline a stacked card at Forbidden Door, which also features top talent from NJPW. The event is set for Sunday, August 24, at Wembley Stadium in London, England, providing an international stage for the rivalry to reach its next chapter. The combination of AEW and NJPW stars has heightened interest in the show, promising fans a night filled with thrilling matches and dramatic storytelling.
As the build continues, speculation about possible twists and interference remains high. Both Page and MJF are expected to deliver a performance that emphasizes not only their in-ring skills but also the deeply personal nature of their conflict. With the championship on the line, the match at Forbidden Door could have long-lasting implications for the AEW World Title scene.
Fans and industry observers are now marking their calendars for August 24, anticipating what could be a defining moment in AEW history. The match between Adam Page and MJF has been teased as a culmination of years of rivalry, personal vendettas, and competitive excellence, making it one of the most talked-about main events of the summer.
