Mark Briscoe Earns AEW Title Shot as Andrade Turns on MJF in Death’s Door Cage Match at Forbidden Door

Team Briscoe won the brutal 12-man “Death’s Door” steel cage match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, giving Mark Briscoe a shot at AEW World Champion MJF after pinning Jake Doyle following a Jay Driller. The match took a dramatic turn when Andrade El Idolo, after initially resisting, struck MJF and revealed a shirt reading “F*ck MJF F*ck Don,” signaling a heel turn and positioning himself as an additional challenger; Kevin Knight also emerged owed a future title opportunity after aligning with MJF for the bout.

AEW debuted a new rounded cage with a truss around the top that opened up action outside the ring and changed the visual dynamic of the match, which was a violent, bloody co-main event filled with high-impact spots. Notable moments included Darby Allin’s run-ins, Takeshita’s blue thunder bomb through a table, Kyle O’Reilly’s NES-controller spot, Lio Rush’s brief appearance from a hockey bag orchestrated by MJF and Okada, and multiple wrestlers bleeding and taking major bumps that underscored the chaotic nature of Forbidden Door.
