4 Dream AEW Forbidden Door Matches We Will Never See

× AEW Forbidden Door has become a gateway for major dream matches in professional wrestling. Over the years, it has become the hotspot for fantasy showdowns like Zack Sabre Jr. vs Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega vs.

Will Ospreay. However, despite this pay-per-view being sold for the possibility of dream matches, there are several showdowns that may never happen. Ad In professional wrestling, fans often speculate on the possibilities of dream showdowns between NJPW stars, WWE stars, AEW stars, and so on.

However, due to factors such as contract disputes, injuries, or retirement, some dream matches never make it to the squared circle. One of the most notable examples is Sting vs. The Undertaker, and many more anticipated showdowns are likely to join that list in the years ahead.

In this article, let's take a look at four AEW Forbidden Door matches that we will never see: Ad Trending #4. Sting vs. Great Muta Sting and Great Muta are two of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

They both had several things in common, most notably their face paint style of professional wrestling gimmick. They were epic rivals in pro-wrestling during the prime of their careers in the 2000s in WCW. However, they never got the opportunity to collide during the late stages of their careers.

Ad Oba shouldn't win King of the Ring? Check out why! Therefore, it became a sort of dream match among the fans because things were completely changed for both the stars in the 2020s than they were in the 2000s.

While Sting and Muta shared the ring as tag team partners, they never collided in a singles match after the end of their WCW run. In February 2023, Great Muta wrestled his final wrestling match against Tetsuya Naito. On the other hand, Sting had his retirement match alongside Darby Allin against the Young Bucks in March 2024 at Revolution pay-per-view.

With both names now out of wrestling, this showdown remains a dream match that can never happen at AEW Forbidden Door. Ad #3. Zack Sabre Jr.

vs. Gunther Zack Sabre Jr. and Gunther are two of the most gifted professional wrestlers in modern-day pro-wrestling.

ZSJ has faced The Ring General multiple times during their independent wrestling journey, but it was not the version of him as today. It was a different version of Gunther who used to be called Walter. In the current era of WWE, Gunther is a different kind of beast than he used to be.

Ad The Ring General has established himself as one of the biggest threats in the wrestling business with career-ending wins over John Cena, AJ Styles, and Goldberg. On the other hand, ZSJ has become a global name in the world of technical wrestling. Therefore, for many years, this has become a dream match for hardcore professional wrestling enthusiasts.

However, as things stand, Gunther is the top guy in WWE, and he is unlikely ever to leave the company. As for Zack Sabre Jr., he is doing great in NJPW and independent wrestling, which makes it improbable for him to join WWE.

Therefore, it remains a dream match for good. Ad #2. Tetsuya Naito vs.

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega Tetsuya Naito and Kenny Omega have been fierce rivals in professional wrestling. They have battled quite a few times in NJPW during the prime of their careers. However, fans still dream of seeing a showdown between the two legends at a stage like AEW Forbidden Door.

However, at this point, both the names have been dealing with their personal physical battles. Ad While Naito is dealing with severe knee deterioration and bilateral superior oblique muscle paralysis, Omega has been facing issues with a bout of diverticulitis. Besides, both the legends have made it clear that they are in the final laps of their careers.

Naito has already left NJPW for a run in the independent wrestling scene, which fans view as a "bucket list" victory lap. Therefore, it is unlikely that Naito and Omega will ever share a ring as opponents in the pro-wrestling business. Ad #1.

CM Punk vs Hiroshi Tanahashi Ad CM Punk and Hiroshi Tanahashi never got the opportunity to square off in a singles match. They were rumored to face each other at the inaugural AEW Forbidden Door event in 2022. However, due to Punk's injury, that match never happened.

Tanahashi retired from pro-wrestling at Wrestle Kingdom 20 in January this year. Meanwhile, CM Punk is signed exclusively to WWE. He cannot compete against the superstars of promotions like NJPW and AEW.

As a result, there is no chance that Punk vs. Tanahashi would ever happen in the world of professional wrestling. Even if both superstar agree to wrestle, their cross-promotional barriers, like their contracts, would not allow them to square off in the ring.

Therefore, Tanahashi and Punk's showdown remains an unvisited dream match for wrestling fans all across the world. × Was this article helpful?
