The wrestling universe is abuzz with the latest developments from AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door III. Contrary to expectations, the culmination of this pay-per-view event will not signal an end. Instead, the Forbidden Door event will mark an earlier comeback than expected with a special New Japan Pro Wrestling event slated for January 5, 2025.
Wrestle Dynasty is set to rock the Tokyo Dome, positioned to take center stage the day subsequent to Wrestle Kingdom 19. The mega event promises participation from talents hailing not only from NJPW but also extending across All Elite Wrestling, CMLL, Ring of Honor, and STARDOM.

New Japan’s promotional team has remained low-key in providing details about the crossover event per se. Their statement merely alludes to the massive involvement of wrestling brands:
“Five distinct promotions converge for an unprecedented match card featuring NJPW, AEW, CMLL, ROH and STARDOM. All brands will bask under the Dome’s spotlight mere 24 hours after Wrestle Kingdom 19. We’re making way for a dream-match-filled night to start off the year!”
Considering we’re several months away from the event, it seems plausible to forecast a gradual rollout of matches for this must-watch event. As a result, a keen surveillance on each brand’s champions and contenders is going to be crucial than ever.
