Posted on by Bryan Rose

More matches have been added to Forbidden Door this Sunday, including two title matches.

Toni Storm will face NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale in a match that will be for Storm’s AEW Women’s Championship. Meanwhile, Orange Cassidy will defend the AEW International title in a four-way match that includes Daniel Garcia, Zack Sabre Jr., and Katsyuori Shibata. After Garcia & Sabre defeated Shibata & Cassidy on Wednesday’s Dynamite, all four grabbed the International title, with Cassidy yanking the title away from Shibata’s grasp.

Multi-man matches have also been announced. Eddie Kingston on Dynamite agreed to team with the Young Bucks and Hangman Page to take on Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Shota Umino, and Konosuke Takeshita. Kingston told The Elite he would pick the fifth person on their team, and eventually chose Ishii as a partner.

Darby Allin & Sting accepted a challenge from Chris Jericho, Minoru Suzuki, and Sammy Guevara on Dynamite after the latter team defeated Action Andretti, AR Fox, and Darius Martin. However, Allin & Sting said they would reveal their partner on Saturday’s Collision.

Two Owen Hart tournament matches have also been added. Athena will face Billie Starks in the Zero Hour pre-show, while CM Punk will face Satoshi Kojima on the main card.

Three title matches added to AEW Double or Nothing

Three new title matches have been added to AEW Double or Nothing.

Orange Cassidy will defend the AEW International title in a 21 person Blackjack Battle Royal in Las Vegas on May 28. Cassidy was interviewed on Wednesday’s Dynamite by Renee Paquette, who said that at least 20 people had answered Cassidy’s challenge earlier in the show. Cassidy said he’d defend the title against them all.

The match between Wardlow and Christian Cage for the TNT title was also made official. Wardlow opened the show, daring Cage to spit in his face as he had dared to do last week. Cage came out with Luchasaurus. It soon turned into a brawl with Wardlow initially gaining the upper hand, but Cage ended up getting control after a low blow. Cage then attacked Wardlow with a ladder.

Toni Storm will again challenge Jamie Hayter for the Women’s Championship in Las Vegas. After Storm picked up a victory on Dynamite, she called out Hayter for a title match, saying she was an entirely different animal.

Here is the updated lineup for Double or Nothing:

  • AEW World Championship: MJF defends against Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy Jack Perry, and Darby Allin
  • AEW Tag Team titles: FTR vs. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal
  • AEW International title: Orange Cassidy defends in a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal
  • TNT title: Wardlow defends against Christian Cage in a ladder match
  • AEW Women’s title: Jamie Hayter defends against Toni Storm
  • Anarchy in the Arena match: The Elite (Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, and Hangman Page) vs. The Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta)
