Forbidden Door was once again a sight to behold this past weekend in Toronto. But AEW isn’t done with Canada yet, and it may not be completely done with Forbidden Door either on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite in Hamilton, Ontario.
That’s because if there’s a big wrestling card, there must be fallout. Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara were on the losing side of their match Sunday night, and they’re looking for some payback. Did they take the ‘L’ because Jericho wasn’t in his Painmaker persona? Maybe, maybe not, but he’ll at least rectify that tonight by becoming the Painmaker once again in a Tornado tag match against Darby Allin and Sting.
(Also, Jericho and Sting never appeared in a match together during decades in the business until Sunday, now they’re facing off twice in four days, not too shabby.)
NJPW stalwart Tomohiro Ishii also suffered defeat at Forbidden Door, though most of the chatter where he was concerned was taking one hell of a shot from Konosuke Takeshita. He’ll try to put that behind him when he battles Jon Moxley in Hamilton.
Want one more man who failed to seize victory on Sunday? We present “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry who came up short in his open challenge bid for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. There’s no shame in that. What was shameful was the way Perry turned on tag team partner Hook, which may turn out to be a mistake. We’ll see if it bites him in the rear right away on Dynamite.
Plus we’ll hear from MJF, breaking up this streak of sob stories since he won his match, and Adam Cole, who didn’t compete at Forbidden Door due to illness but finds himself MJF’s tag team partner.
Add it all up and we’ve got the makings of something explosive in Hamilton. Fitting for Dynamite, eh?
