Aew World Champion Cm Punk Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi Booked For Forbidden Door

CM Punk kicked off this week’s AEW Dynamite by teaming with FTR to beat Max Caster and The Gunn Club. Afterward, the three cut promos about Forbidden Door coming up next month in Chicago, with Punk demanding to know who his challenger would be. This prompted Hiroshi Tanahashi, an eight-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion and considered by many to be one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers of all time, to step forward and pose on the entrance ramp. It’s unclear if the match would be for Punk’s AEW World Championship, though the commentary team confirmed it would be the matchup at the crossover pay-per-view.
