With Forbidden Door, less than three weeks away, AW had Dynamite tonight. It is still looking very much like any other AW pay-per-view. I'm waiting for the actual Forbidden Door portion to come into the show. The card is starting to fill out a little bit. We know that the Unified Championship will be on the line. Kizuchka Okada, who is not on the

show tonight, is going to be defending his title against Swerve Strickland. We know the Hurt Syndicate

will put their AEW tag team titles on the line against the winners of this tournament that's

been going on, which will be an AEW team. We know Timeless Tony Storm is putting her championship on the line against Athena,

and we know that the TBS championship will be defended in a four-way match.

At least in that match, they will have representatives from CMLL and from Stardom.

And then outside of a possible Hiroshi Tanahashi match, that's about all we know at this point.

So not a whole lot of forbidden door influence.

I think I mentioned last week.

The G1 climax is still ongoing, and it will not end until the week before the pay-per-view.

So it is entirely possible, if not probable,

that we will not see any new Japan talent on the show until then, like the week before the show.

Because normally Forbidden Door happens a little bit earlier. This year, because the schedule

changed a little bit, we had all in in July, and now we have forbidden door in August. So it's a little bit

weird. But in the main event tonight, we had MJF and Mark Briscoe one-on-one. And there were no

stipulations attached, no conditions attached to this match. But it seemed like the winner would

probably end up challenging hangman for the world championship.

And MJF beat Mark Briscoe tonight.

This is the fourth week in a row that Mark Briscoe has been a part of the Dynamite main event.

And it was not without controversy.

Him getting his foot on the bottom rope.

The idiot referee, of course, not seeing it.
