SHANE MCMAHON TO CONFRONT TOP HEELS, TWO EX-WWE STARS TO DEBUT, BIG HEEL TURN - 5 THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN AFTER AEW X NJPW: FORBIDDEN DOOR III
AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door III Pay-Per-View was a huge hit. The show contained top-notch matches and compelling storylines. The main event match between Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland has been widely acclaimed by fans due to great in-ring and character work. The 33-year-old star retained his AEW World Championship to close out the show.
Additionally, on the upcoming Beach Break edition of Dynamite, huge matches and segments have been announced. Bryan Danielson and PAC will battle in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Cup, and a returning Britt Baker will also be on the show.
Let's take a look at the possibilities of what could happen in the aftermath of AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door III Pay-Per-View.
#5. "Hangman" Adam Page might return as a wild card
When AEW announced the bracket for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, they left a blank space for a wild card entry. Fans speculated about many returning and debuting stars, who could take the spot. The wild card is set to face Jeff Jarrett in the first round of the tournament next week at Beach Break edition of Dynamite.
Recently, a vignette aired on Dynamite where an undisclosed personality was shown. The star seemingly resembles "Hangman" Adam Page and he could be the wild card in this tournament.
#4. Dijak arrives in AEW
Dijak recently announced that he did not renew his contract with WWE and is currently a free agent. He has teased joining AEW recently and was also reportedly present backstage at the Forbidden Door 2024 Pay-Per-View.
The 37-year-old star had been a huge star on WWE NXT, but could not get over on the main roster. He could be a top star in the Jacksonville-based company due to his stature and charisma.
#3. Shane McMahon to join AEW and face The Elite at Blood and Guts 2024
The rumors about Shane McMahon joining AEW are at an all-time high after a recent report was released earlier. Shane-O Mac and Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, reportedly met in New York City and discussed the Tony Khan-led promotion.
With Shane being no stranger to the authoritative figure, he could become a commissioner in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Additionally, Blood and Guts will be held in a few weeks, so Shane could join team AEW and take down The Elite.
#2. Mercedes Mone turns heel against Britt Baker
Mercedes Mone stole the show at the Forbidden Door 2024 Pay-Per-View against Stephanie Vaquer. She is currently holding the TBS Championship and the NJPW Strong Women's Championship. Following Mone vs. Vaquer, Britt Baker showed up in the Jacksonville-based company after being absent for more than nine months. Mercedes and Britt then confronted each other which sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Tony Khan has already announced both the stars for the Beach Break edition of Dynamite and they will seemingly confront each other on the show. Additionally, there is a huge possibility of Mercedes turning heel and attacking the former AEW Women's World Champion.
#1. Ricochet to make his AEW debut and challenge Will Ospreay for All In 2024
Ricochet is officially a free agent now and is open to appearing or signing with any promotion. Fans have been speculating about him joining the Jacksonville-based promotion for a while now. A recent report also suggests the same.
At the Forbidden Door 2024 Pay-Per-View, Will Ospreay failed to capture the AEW World Championship. He could be confronted by the debuting Ricochet this week on Beach Break. The Future of Flight could also challenge the current International Champion for a match at the AEW All In 2024 Pay-Per-View, which is a dream match for many fans.
Only time will tell if Ricochet will sign with AEW or if he will choose to go somewhere else.
