Shawn Spears Says He’s Pitched An Idea For AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

Shawn Spears has an idea for this year’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, and he says he made a pitch for the upcoming show. Spears recently spoke with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard and noted that he’s looking forward to AEW’s upcoming tour of Canada and pitched an idea for the June 25th PPV with NJPW.

“I even sent out an idea today for a Forbidden Door 2, you know, it’s a special kick-off,” he said. “Forbidden Door’s massive, and Toronto’s always been more than gracious, more than welcoming to me. Like you mentioned, last October, a very vulnerable, personal, but very public moment for me there. I’m being biased, but the Canadians, you can almost feel the acceptance and comfort coming from an audience like that.”

Spears continued, “I have no doubt that with all of the shows — and I think we’re hitting the [Canadian Prairies] and almost everything out to the west coast, which is fantastic. I hope to be on those shows, I look forward to being on those shows. If not, you’re gonna hear [stories], ‘Shawn Spears got in trouble backstage for yelling at the fact that he wasn’t on Canadian shows and threw a bag down the hall and kicked a door.’ So if I’m not on those shows, they’re going to have yank me out of there kicking and screaming.”

AEW has yet to announce any matches for the show, which takes place in Toronto at the Scotiabank Arena and airs live on PPV.
