The Match Most Fans Are Looking Forward To
There are many matches that fans are looking forward to. From the bunch, it has to be the Lights Out Steel Cage match. Especially as it is Hiroshi Tanahashi’s last show in the United Kingdom, and it has many notable names in the show. It will be interesting to see how the match goes, knowing Ospreay’s neck issues, and Tanahashi’s knees being knackered.
How To Watch AEW Forbidden Door
The show takes place on August 24th, 2025, and it will take place during the following times: 6 pm BST / 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. The earlier start time is due to the show taking place in London, England. To watch the show, the best spot would be on Amazon Prime, which would cost $49.99 just to watch the PPV live. Since talent from international promotions is involved, for those markets, if Amazon Prime is not an option, the next best one is TrillerTV PPV, PPV.com, or YouTube.
Final Thoughts
This Forbidden Door does not truly feel like the ones done in 2022, 2023, and 2024. However, it is still expected to be an enjoyable show full of entertaining pro wrestling matches. It will be interesting to see who wins and loses during this Forbidden Door PPV.
