Once a year the stars of AEW and NJPW collide at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view and that event is set to air live tonight. During the most recent episode of AEW Rampage it was revealed that Adam Cole would be facing Tom Lawlor, but that match won’t be happening.
Ahead of Forbidden Door tonight Tony Khan announced that Adam Cole has been pulled from the show and his match with Tom Lawlor has been canceled. Tony Khan noted that Adam Cole was pulled due to an illness, but did not provide further details.
“Due to illness, @AdamColePro isn’t cleared tonight, therefore the Adam Cole vs @FilthyTomLawlor match is canceled.
Despite the change, tonight will be an amazing show!
Thank you to everyone watching #ForbiddenDoor, either here live in Toronto @ScotiabankArena or on ppv tonight!”
