Sabre Jr. thinks it’d be fantastic, but it’d be good to do something different.
The fourth installment of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door is taking place on August 24th and it’ll be emanating from London, England.
That event was brought up by IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. as he was being interviewed by NJPW1972.com. He mentioned his thought that a match between him and Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door 2025 would be fantastic, but Sabre Jr. also thinks it’d be good to do something different at the event.
There’s a lot (of AEW talents I’d like to wrestle). The laziest names to say would be (Kazuchika) Okada and (Will) Ospreay, so I won’t say them. I’d like to wrestle people that haven’t been to Japan yet, like Swerve Strickland or MJF. I’ve wrestled Daniel Garcia and Orange Cassidy before, but the AEW wrestlers that haven’t really had notoriety in WWE are appealing to me. There’s also a lot of people I know from my independent career. Myself and Darby Allin have had a lot of matches on the independents. When it comes to a Forbidden Door in England this year, obviously me and Ospreay would be a fantastic match but I think it would be good to do something different.
Dating back to 2014, Ospreay and Sabre Jr. have had 15 singles matches against one another. Their latest was in 2023 at NJPW Royal Quest III where Ospreay came out on top.
In their singles matches, the win score is Sabre Jr.’s nine to Ospreay’s six.
