10 HUGE AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2023 Predictions You Need To Know
2. Bryan Danielson Vs. Kazuchika Okada
Excalibur billed Bryan Danielson Vs. Kazuchika Okada as the Forbidden Door "main event" during his show-closing salvo on the go-home Dynamite, and even if this clash of the in-ring titans doesn't go on last, he's not wrong.
Forbidden Door as a concept exists for Bryan Danielson Vs. Kazuchika Okada. Wrestling should exist for Bryan Danielson Vs. Kazuchika Okada. Two men with the fat end of four decades' experience of being considered the very best want to go out there and show it to be true.
In reality, they have to do it by going out there and producing one of the greatest matches of all time, a certain contender for match of the year, and maybe even something that convinces fans to believe that a second bite of the cherry in a rematch could be even tastier than the first. In the fiction, they need to highlight this by displaying the above attributes disguised as their desire to beat the other man. Wrestling is not legitimate fighting, but the competition for such awards is as real at it gets.
With no titles on the line nor huge storyline implications, it's also the most unpredictable match on the show too. Perfection of this genre has been realised, the pressure now sits on the broad shoulders of both men to some how live up to those expectations.
Winner - Kazuchika Okada
