AEW has confirmed a new matchup for Forbidden Door 2.
This evening’s AEW Rampage saw Adam Cole get attacked by “Filthy” Tom Lawlor and Royce Isaacs thanks to AEW World Champion MJF. MJF told Cole that he got him a match at Sunday’s event, which led to the attack. We originally reported this on Wednesday in our AEW Rampage spoilers post. You can read about that here.
After Adam Cole convinced MJF to accept his match with #Tanahashi at #ForbiddenDoor for the #AEW World Championship, MJF is here to "thank" his BLIND TAG TEAM Partner with a match against #FilthyTomLawlor at #ForbiddenDoor!!!
