Jon Moxley v Hiroshi Tanahashi – Interim AEW World Championship

Build up:

After the injury suffered by CM Punk at Double Or Nothing and the Dynamite after Double Or Nothing saw the Best Of The World requiring surgery. It was confirmed that an Interim AEW World Champion would be determined at Forbidden Door with a unification match happening with Punk in the future once he returns from injury. 

AEW President Tony Khan revealed that the winner of a Casino battle Royal on the June 8th edition of Dynamite would face off against number 1 ranked Jon Moxley in the main event on the same night. 

The winner of the battle royale was revealed to be The Undisputed Elite’s Kyle O’Reilly, who eliminated Moxley’s fellow Blackpool Combat Club teammate Wheeler Yuta to claim his chance to make him one step away from Forbidden Door. 

Moxley and O’Reilly would go to war in what was a very physical hard-hitting contest but Moxley would walk out the victor and advance to Forbidden Door after a Paradigm Shift to remain undefeated in singles competition in 2022. 

It would be revealed that Moxley would finally get a chance that has alluded him for three years since his ties with AEW and NJPW and that is the chance to wrestle the Ace of New Japan Pro Wrestling Hiroshi Tanahashi. 

Tanahashi defeated Hirooki Goto to advance to Forbidden Door. 

Match prediction:

The past two weeks have seen Mox and Tanahashi come face to face on numerous occasions, with the two even picking up a victory in tag team
