AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Heads to London in 2025

As a long-time wrestling enthusiast with memories of attending the inaugural ALL IN event back in 2018, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia and excitement upon hearing that AEW is bringing both ALL IN and Forbidden Door back to England. The prospect of witnessing these monumental events once again in the land of my birth has me more pumped up than a British Bulldog on a sugar rush!


As a passionate gamer, I can’t contain my excitement about All Elite Wrestling (AEW)! Next year, AEW is shaking up its pay-per-view calendar, and guess where we’re heading? Back to the USA after a two-year stint in London’s Wembley Stadium. The 2025 edition of the supersized AEW ALL IN event will be held at Arlington, Texas’s Globe Life Field, marking the first time this epic show has originated from the United States since its inception in 2018 at Chicago’s Sears Centre. However, fear not, fellow fans in London! AEW President Tony Khan assures us that we’ll be back in London in 2025 for a different kind of experience. Can’t wait to be part of this amazing journey!

According to AEW President Tony Khan, this is an incredibly thrilling period for the company, as there are numerous fascinating developments taking place within it at present.

It’s important to mention that the event AEW ALL IN: Texas, scheduled for July 12th, 2025, is moving up from its usual place at the end of August. Typically, Forbidden Door takes place in the last week of June, but this would only leave two weeks between the 2025 show and AEW ALL IN: Texas. To make room for AEW ALL IN: Texas‘s date, it seems likely that AEW will adjust the timing of Forbidden Door in 2025.

Another factor to take into account is the annual G1 Climax tournament by New Japan Pro Wrestling, a historic round-robin event that usually takes place around mid-July and continues for approximately a month in the Far East. This tournament features almost every prominent and rising star within NJPW. Due to its round-robin structure, participants must dedicate themselves fully without any other obligations during this period. In light of this, it is likely that AEW and NJPW will schedule Forbidden Door 2025 outside of the G1 Climax tournament’s competition window next year.

On Sunday, August 25th, the upcoming AEW event titled “AEW ALL IN: London” will take place starting at 1 PM Eastern Time.
