Will Ospreay was able to defeat Orange Cassidy to retain his IWGP US Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, but was stopped from beating Cassidy down by Katsuyori Shibata. Ospreay defeated Cassidy on Sunday’s PPV, pinning him after a Storm Breaker.

After the match, Ospreay and his allies attacked Cassidy, bringing out Roppongi Vice to make the save. Shibata then came out and took out Aussie Open, hitting a pump kick on Ospreay and clearing the ring.
