10 HUGE AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

10. Le Sex Gods & Minoru Suzuki Vs. Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta & Shota Umino

What may scan as a card-filler on paper could actually be one of the more fun outings on the night.

One of Tony Khan’s best TV tricks during AEW’s glorious return to full venues in 2021 was to put CM Punk and Adam Cole’s entrance themes next to one another in the mimicking of getting back-to-back bangers at a gig. In Kaza Ni Nare and Judas, the heels’ entrance will generate identical buzz. As will a rampaging Eddie Kingston happily battering anybody that moves.

It'll be nice to see Sammy Guevara back in his most natural role as Jericho's sh*t-eating-grin sidekick, and the pair of them will presumably annoy Suzuki enough to facilitate a babyface victory on the night.

Speaking of the good guys, Umino and Wheeler teaming up is pretty cool, and not just because Yuta rhymes with SHOOTA. As apprentices of Jon Moxley past and present, their motivation will be to kick the f*cking sh*t out of 'The Wizard' specifically ahead of Blood & Guts the following Wednesday. Underestimate the magic of this one at your peril.

Winners - Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta & Shota Umino
