10 HUGE AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

10. The Elite, Eddie Kingston & Tomohiro Ishii Vs The BCC, Shota Umino & Konosuke Takeshita

A continuation of the Blackpool Combat Club/Elite feud that works just enough for Forbidden Door thanks to to Tomohiro Ishii and upcoming G1 entrant Eddie Kingston both backing the babyfaces, this 5-on-5 battle has an enormously high ceiling on talent alone.

After The BCC's victory at Double Or Nothing, most had assumed the next logical steps between loose approximations of the stables was a Blood & Guts payoff, but AEW have stumbled on the perfect delaying tactic while Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson wage singles wars elsewhere on the show. Even the pressure of following Anarchy In The Arena 2 has been offset somewhat by the special guests - Ishii and Moxley! Kingston and Claudio! Page and Takeshita! - and all of this doesn't even factor in the quite incredible push and pull of Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston's newly-strained bond.

This promises violence, drama and brand new questions emerging out the other side. It feels like, in order for the story to continue, the heels yet again need to get the upper hand too.

Winners - The Blackpool Combat Club, Shota Umino & Konosuke Takeshita
