Lead Rumor: Forbidden Door uncertainty AEW will hold its Forbidden Door pay-per-view this coming weekend, but there has been some uncertainty for talent regarding the show. That’s according to Fightful Select, who indicate multiple wrestlers from AEW, NJPW, and CMLL didn’t know what they will be doing on the show at least as of this past week’s episode of Dynamite. It’s worth pointing out, however, that Fightful was told this “isn’t out of the ordinary, and they’ll find out their matches the week of the show.” Amidst the uncertainty is Gabe Kidd’s status. New Japan expected him to be a big part of the show this year but it’s unclear if that will be the case. That’s because AEW is playing it close to the vest. Hey, a lot of times it’s better when we don’t know, right? Other rumors floating around Videos made the rounds of Liv Morgan appearing to take a bad hit to the lower leg at a house show, sparking injury concerns. She appeared to walk out fine, however, and there has been no update of any issue.

They also say some within WWE and AAA believe Xena will be coming in once she finishes up with Stardom early next month. An update on Private Party: Fightful says they actually sustained the same injury in the same match on March 28. Still no word on when the two will return, however. Get in on this, y’all.
