Hiroshi Tanahashi seals his team’s victory at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025

At the main event of Forbidden Door 2025, the team led by Will Ospreay faced off against the Death Riders and the Young Bucks in a brutal Steel Cage Match. The action overflowed from the first minute, with everyone fighting inside and outside the ring. The Golden Lovers, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, faced off against the Young Bucks amidst the chaos, while a handcuffed Darby Allin used his agility to fly over his opponents.

The match soon turned into a brutal punishment by the rivals. The Young Bucks used a ladder as a weapon against Ibushi and the rest of the team, while Moxley attacked Darby Allin's ear with a fork and used it for a Body Slam. The aggression was constant in the confrontation, with a relentless Claudio Castagnoli who threw Darby directly into the cage.

As the action approached its climax, the wrestlers took maximum risks. Despite the danger, Will Ospreay performed a spectacular Moonsault from the top of the cage, hitting all his rivals. The contest reached a point of no return when Gabe Kidd and Darby Allin took their fight to the top, where both fell from a two-story height onto tables outside.

Despite the punishment received, Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega joined forces to hit a Hidden Blade and a One Winged Angel on Nick Jackson, but it was Hiroshi Tanahashi who ultimately sealed the victory for his team with his iconic High Fly Flow for the three count. The celebration was short-lived, as the Death Riders returned to lock Ospreay in the cage, brutally punishing him with a chair and leaving everyone concerned about his health at the end of the broadcast.
