Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams break down the fallout from AEW Forbidden Door and the biggest talking points coming out of one of the company's most eventful weeks of the year.

The conversation begins with AEW's shocking announcement of MJF vs. Kenny Omega, featuring the controversial stipulation that Omega can never challenge for the AEW World Championship again if he loses. Why is AEW presenting such a massive match on Dynamite instead of saving it for the Redemption pay-per-view in Canada? Is the internet's backlash justified, or are fans judging the story before it has a chance to unfold?

The hosts also discuss whether Jon Moxley fatigue has become a legitimate concern, if the Death Riders should step back to allow other stories to breathe, Hikaru Shida's TBS Championship victory and what comes next, plus the biggest winners, lingering questions, and future directions following Forbidden Door.

Join Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams for another lively, fan-driven discussion covering AEW, Dynamite, Forbidden Door, Kenny Omega, MJF, Jon Moxley, Hikaru Shida, and everything happening on the road to Redemption.

Forbidden Door is here, and that means it's time for Blade Daily to make a full slate of predictions that history suggests are almost guaranteed to be wrong.

In this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade previews every announced match for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026, breaking down the biggest stories, potential surprises, and the outcomes that could shape AEW, NJPW, STARDOM, and CMLL heading into the summer.

The conversation also turns to one of the week's biggest talking points: AEW Dynamite fitting eight matches into just over two hours while maintaining a remarkably high level of in-ring quality. Is that the formula AEW has been searching for? Could shorter, more focused matches create the television time needed to better showcase the Women's Division without sacrificing what fans love about Dynamite?

Finally, Blade weighs in on the blockbuster 12-man steel cage main event at Forbidden Door. Is it the can't-miss attraction of the event, or are there stronger stories elsewhere on the card that deserve even more attention?

If you're looking for thoughtful AEW analysis, Forbidden Door predictions, and discussion on the future of AEW's presentation, this episode has you covered.

Topics include:

• Full AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026 predictions
• The biggest matches and potential show stealers
• Dynamite's successful eight-match format
• Should AEW embrace shorter matches?
• The ongoing conversation around the Women's Division

In recognition of Juneteenth, Blade Daily, Antione Raphael, and Shane Graham reflect on the Black wrestlers who made the greatest impact on their lives as fans and on the professional wrestling industry as a whole. From groundbreaking pioneers to modern-day stars, the trio discusses the performers whose influence helped shape wrestling's past, present, and future.

The conversation then turns to one of the most talked-about matches of the week as Mercedes Moné and Hazuki delivered an instant classic on AEW Dynamite. The crew examines what made the match so special, whether AEW's Women's Division is gaining momentum, and what challenges still remain. They also tackle the growing concern surrounding Forbidden Door, asking why the annual event so often arrives with fewer cross-promotional dream matches than fans expect. Are more announcements coming? Is the criticism fair? And who bears responsibility when expectations and reality collide?

Join Blade, Antione, and Shane for another passionate, thoughtful, and occasionally chaotic discussion covering AEW, NJPW, STARDOM, women's wrestling, Forbidden Door, and the performers who continue to leave their mark on the wrestling industry.
