AEW Steps Up to New Japan All Stars at Forbidden Door (ep.777)

AEW World Championship: MJF (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi- cowardly heel shtick to start. MJF shenanigans secured the win
Men's Owen Hart Invitational Cup - Quarter Final Match
CM Punk vs. Satoshi Kojima- Punk with the likely win.
AEW International Championship
Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Daniel Garcia vs. Zack Sabre Jr vs. Katsuyori Shibata- Shibata and Cassidy and then all four into the freshly squeezed gimmick. Orange selling the nagging injuries and sneaks away with the win
IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: SANADA (c) vs. "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry- match was good. Hook at ringside at Perry's request and then a shocking heel turn. Taz is fuming.
Konosuke Takeshita, Shota Umino & Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli) (w/ Don Callis) vs. Eddie Kingston, Tomohiro Ishii & The Elite ("Hangman" Adam Page, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)-Kingston and Moxley have at it Takeshita knocks out the stone pitbull with one shot. Takeshita is developing really well in AEW. Physical matchup. Superkick flurry and Eddie caught in the crossfire. Ishii takes the pin.
AEW Women's World Championship
Toni Storm (c) vs. Willow Nightingale- good matchup. Good to see Willow move up quickly in the ranks of AEW. Only last year she was working in MLW for the start of their featherweight division. Toni storm with quick thinking with the ref use and Storm zero to retain.
IWGP US Championship
Kenny Omega (c) vs. Will Ospreay - lot of focus on Don Callis at ringside giving Ospreay military grade security. Rematch from wrestle kingdom. Using a piece of the announce table for a bloody spot. Great story with Callis helping Will and Omega with some great near falls.
Chris Jericho, Minoru Suzuki & Sammy Guevara vs. Sting, Darby Allin & Tetsuya Naito- Makes send but fascinating that Sting and Jericho have never faced each other. Darby sells the Judas effect. Sting takes a table shot from a 630 by Sammy.
Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada- Danielson comes out like he was in 2009 Ring of honor. Original looking maroon gear and the Final Countdown.
