This evening, AEW and NJPW held the 2025 edition of Forbidden Door, a show that featured great championship matches and memorable moments. In a new defense of her TBS Championship, "The CEO" Mercedes Moné retained her title in an intense Four Way Match against Alex Windsor, Persephone, and the dangerous Bozilla.

The match started with a coordinated attack by the challengers, who immediately took Mercedes Moné out of the ring. However, the advantage was short-lived as the powerful Bozilla took control by dominating the three rivals with her immense strength, throwing Moné into the corner and, in a show of power, propelling her over the ropes towards the other wrestlers on the outside.

Chaos ensued in the match. After Bozilla's impressive display of power, the rivals began exchanging pins and submissions. Mercedes showed why she is the champion, resisting the coordinated attacks and executing her own moves. The most notable moments included a Spider German Suplex by Alex Windsor on her three opponents, and an impressive Double Sharpshooter that Bozilla broke just in time.

In the final minutes, the action was frantic and the outcome seemed uncertain. Persephone hit a Spear on Alex, while Bozilla followed up with a Chokeslam and a Moonsault, a combination that almost ended the match. However, Mercedes broke the pin. After a series of exchanges and reversals, Mercedes ultimately secured the victory by reversing a Razor's Edge from Persephone into a pin, thus ensuring her successful defense.
