There's rumors that Giulia may appear at Forbidden Door tonight, to confront Willow Nightingale.
There was a clip on Twitter of Giulia talking to someone about Willow and the Strong Women's Title. Then threatening that person, like she's threatening Willow. And then Giulia closes the clip by saying...
"Giulia will open the Forbidden Door."

Stu Greyson vs. El Phantasmo would have been the sleeper match of the show if given time.
And poor Starkz, she is getting murdered tonight. Athena is a fucking beast these days.

I like how they got some NJPW multi-man tag matches in the pre-show. United Empire vs L.I.J. is a pure NJPW match, versions of that match have happened dozens of times, just not in front of a U.S. audience. BUSHI gets pinned.
El Desperado teaming with "CHAOS" people is certainly an interesting decision. Just a way to squeeze him on the card. In fact he would have been a good fit for the Jericho match, in Sammy Guevara's place. He has the aesthetic connection with Darby/Sting, but more importantly he is allies with Minoru Suzuki. But I understand why they want Guevara in a high profile match.
Looking at the Toni Storm match, a question comes to mind. Does Saraya actually wrestle? How many matches has she had since her grand return? Three?

Saraya does the occasional match but she is far better in the Rebel role as a manager. Think she is really into the whole helping the next gen get over stuff now, rather than get herself back over.

I posted it in the wrong thread, so I'll post it here.
Adam Cole is to ill to compete against Filthy Tom tonight. So the match has been scratched from the card.

I'd be so mad if I didn't get to go "adam cole baybay" in the crowd.
Match doesn't matter though. I feel bad for Filthy Tom. Maybe they'll still use him somehow.

I guess the plus side to scratching the Cole/Lawlor match will be that there'll be more time alotted for the bigger matches.

Likely will give Okada and DB their full time as people are likely to go long and with 11 matches it adds up.
And frankly, that is not the match I wanted to see from either of them and was just set up to use Cole.

They should bring back Lawlor and give him DB on a Dynamite.
