In the ever-evolving narrative of professional wrestling, where alliances shift and rivalries ignite, the clash between Team Jericho and Team HOOK represents a pivotal moment. It not only promises to deliver unparalleled excitement but also sets the tone for future collaborations and groundbreaking moments in the ongoing saga of Forbidden Door partnerships.
The stage was set during the latest episode of “AEW Collision,” where Chris Jericho, flanked by Big Bill and Bryan Keith, engaged in a hard-fought tag team encounter against Private Party’s Isiah Kennedy and Marq Quen. The match unfolded with intense back-and-forth action, culminating in Jericho’s resilience as he thwarted Private Party’s best efforts, including a remarkable kick-out from their signature Gin and Juice finisher. The tide turned decisively when a ringside Bryan Keith, amidst chaos and distraction, intervened with brass knuckles, paving the way for Jericho to secure the pinfall victory over Quen.
However, post-match, tensions escalated dramatically. Bryan Keith’s assault on an already vulnerable Kassidy prompted a retaliatory rush from Samoa Joe, HOOK, and the formidable Katsuyori Shibata. In a moment of brutal retribution, Shibata ruthlessly targeted Keith’s arm, leaving him writhing in agony at ringside. Joe, seizing the microphone, wasted no time in issuing a challenge to Jericho, citing philosophical differences and a preference for settling matters “by the crucible of combat.” The challenge was clear: a six-man tag team confrontation at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, pitting Team Joe against what remains of Jericho’s collective.
As anticipation mounts for this epic showdown, questions swirl around Bryan Keith’s condition following Shibata’s ruthless attack. Despite the uncertainty, Jericho’s track record of delivering at pay-per-view events suggests that the challenge will indeed be accepted, setting the stage for an explosive encounter that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the Forbidden Door landscape.
