SouthernWorldwide.com – At the high-stakes event “Forbidden Door,” a dramatic turn of events saw AEW star Andrade El Idolo intervene in a critical moment, directly impacting the outcome of a grueling steel cage match.
The match featured twelve competitors, all entering with distinct objectives on Sunday night at All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) “Forbidden Door” event. Two primary goals were at the forefront for these athletes.
Mark Briscoe and his assembled team of five were aiming to overcome AEW World Champion MJF and his five allies, who were compelled to support him within the confines of a steel cage. The stakes were immense: a victory for Briscoe’s team would grant Briscoe a direct opportunity to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship.
AEW introduced a novel circular cage design for this encounter, intended to contain all twelve participants. This unique structure contributed to the perilous and entertaining nature of the bout, adding an extra layer of danger for everyone involved.
The match saw a variety of weapons and tactics employed, including the use of thumbtacks, Kyle O’Reilly utilizing a Nintendo Entertainment System as an offensive tool, Kevin Knight experiencing a shocking moment at the top of the cage that resulted in him falling through tables, and even Lio Rush making a notable appearance.
Ultimately, the contest hinged on whether Team Briscoe could successfully defeat the combined forces of the Don Callis Family and MJF. Andrade El Idolo, who was initially slated to support MJF, found himself at a crossroads, presented with an opportunity to decisively defeat Briscoe.
However, Andrade made a decisive choice to defy MJF’s directives. In a pivotal moment, he removed his “Team DCMJF” shirt, revealing attire emblazoned with explicit messages directed at both the champion and Don Callis. This act signaled a significant shift in allegiance.
Following this revelation, Andrade executed his signature backfist maneuver on MJF. Jake Doyle, seemingly bewildered by the turn of events, was then met with a low blow from Andrade. Seizing the opportunity, Briscoe followed up with his “Jay Driller” move on Doyle, securing the pinfall victory.
Briscoe’s victorious team comprised O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Darby Allin, and Konosuke Takeshita. They triumphed over MJF, Andrade, Doyle, Knight, Kyle Fletcher, and Kazuchika Okada.
As a direct consequence of this victory, Briscoe is now slated to receive his AEW World Championship match. This highly anticipated bout is scheduled to take place on “Dynamite” this coming Wednesday.
