AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2022: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. The Women’s Match Goes On First

There's a worrying lack of story to this match, being brutally frank.

It's a babyface vs. babyface bout, and not the kind that's been built up for months and months. No, instead, Toni Storm looks like she's a placeholder challenger for Thunder Rosa. It might be in AEW's best interests to stick this match out there first and get a reaction.

Toni and Rosa will sink if they're placed late in the card (in the dreaded "death spot" pre-main event, for example). The same could be said if they're midcard - fans may well use this as an excuse to visit the bathrooms, which would really, really suck, but All Elite put on looooooong shows.

If Tony wants the most bang for his buck, he should book the AEW Women's Title showdown as Forbidden Door's opener. Then, fans are certain to be hot throughout and give both gals the respect they richly deserve.
