Four matchups have joined the pre-show portion of AEW Forbidden Door 2025.
Sunday’s card from The O2 in London, England, has four Zero Hour matches confirmed for it, as announced on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision. The bouts will stream free on AEW’s social media platforms at 11:30 a.m. ET, an hour-and-a-half before Forbidden Door’s pay-per-view portion goes live.
The sole title fight set for the pre-show will see The Opps (Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Samoa Joe) wager their AEW World Trios Championships against Bullet Club War Dogs members Clark Connors, Drilla Moloney, and Robbie X.
The Opps will be trying to defend their titles for the second time, riding the momentum of a win over the Death Riders from All In last month. The match will be an AEW debut for Moloney, who is returning after competing in the NJPW G1 Climax earlier this month.
RevPro stand-out Michael Oku will team with JetSpeed’s Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight to face Ricochet and the Gates of Agony. Oku, a past RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion, previously faced Hechicero at ROH Supercard of Honor last month. The upcoming match will be his first-ever appearance on proper televised AEW programming, although he has previously worked the Jericho Cruise and dark matches.
In a men’s all-star tag match, NJPW’s Yuya Uemura and El Desperado will team with Paragon’s Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong to face the team of CRU (Action Andretti and Lio Rush), plus the Don Callis Family’s Hechicero and Josh Alexander.
The women’s all-star tag will see Megan Bayne fight alongside Thekla’s Triangle of Madness against Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander, Harley Cameron, and Queen Aminata.
