Dave Meltzer speculated on the pay-per-view buy rates for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door following WWE's counter-programming with WWE NXT Great American Bash on June 28. Meltzer suggested the buy rates for Forbidden Door would be low, especially compared to AEW's recent events like Double or Nothing.

The two promotions will face off again on August 30 when NXT: Heatwave competes with AEW All In: London.
