All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling pay-per-view event From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025 Forbidden Door is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and supershow co-produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and the Japan-based New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It will be the fourth annual Forbidden Door event and will take place on August 24, 2025, in London, England, at a to be announced venue, coinciding with the United Kingdom's August Bank Holiday weekend, previously occupied by AEW's All In. This will be the first Forbidden Door to be held in August, as the first three events were all held in June, and it will also be the first held outside of North America.

Forbidden Door is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event co-produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Japan-based New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Established in 2022, the event is held during the summer and features direct competition between wrestlers from the two companies.[2][3] The 2024 event also featured some wrestlers from NJPW's sister promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom and Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).[4] The event takes its name from the same term often used by AEW when referring to working with other professional wrestling promotions.[5]
This will mark the first Forbidden Door event held outside of North America, and AEW's fifth event overall outside the continent. This also marks the first Forbidden Door held in August, as the prior three events were held in June, and in turn will be held during the United Kingdom's August Bank Holiday weekend, which was previously occupied by AEW's All In the prior two years.[6][1][7]
Forbidden Door will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines.[8] Storylines are primarily advanced on AEW's weekly television shows Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision, the YouTube series Being The Dark Order, and also at NJPW, Stardom, and CMLL events.
