    But Forbidden Door 2 in Japan on a Saturday will be fun. What time would the show be at though? 14-17 hour time difference.

    Would they do Sunday afternoon in Tokyo show which would be 10pm on the east coast and 7pm west coast? That would do better than Saturday night in Tokyo which would be 6am east coast, 3am west coast.
    Double or Nothing is usually on Memorial Day weekend so Sunday is a holiday. Full Gear is usually on a Saturday because Tony doesn't want it competing with Sunday Night Football.

    But I do wish the other two PPVs would be on Saturday nights.

      Really hoping for Okada vs Danielson at Forbidden Door 2. Also hoping that Jay White is in AEW by then.

        This is another big FA that could be leaving AEW


        There's an actual possibility of Christian returning to WWE?! If it happens in the next few months, I'd love that.

        Summerslam with Edge and Christian?!

        The Toronto show in August featuring Edge vs Christian, or Edge and Christian tagging? This would be huge.

          Come back and finish his career in WWE. I fully expect Danielson to do the same at some point. It wouldn't be huge.... it would reek of awesomeness.

            Vince not in charge with Christian back would be good. He always seemed to have hated Christian (including the infamous blue dot idea).

              I think "hate" is a strong word. I'd say he never saw him as a "top guy" or saw him as main eventer (like Edge) as we (the fans) do/did.

              I would love to see him end his career in WWE, especially after that epic appearance in the (I think) 2021 Royal Rumble, but if Vince is making roster decisions that might not happen. Sadly.

                Vickie Guerrero is also set to leave AEW after her contract ends in July. Can I say.... if TK would realize how perfect the timing is with the Rey/Dominik angle, he'd let her out of her contract now. Imagine Vickie scolding Dom for his treatment of Rey... gold.

                  Very happy that both are not being re-signed. Khan was on a signing spree the last few years and needs to start going with quality over quantity. Let both go back to WWE. No value lost for AEW in my opinion.

                    Vickie could've been utilized to help out some talent weak on the mic, because there are many in AEW who are just wrestlers not talkers.

                    Christian did as much as you'd expect from him in AEW at this point in his career. Unless he was suddenly going to show up on ROH shows, don't think there was much else for him.

                    I wonder if we'll even see him as early as WM. Finn, Priest attacking Edge after the match before Christian makes the save?

                      Maybe in regards to Vickie but at the same time, the younger guys will never get better on the mic if they have a mouthpiece.

                      Seeing Christian show up at WrestleMania to save/help Edge would be cool. For AEW, he put over Jungle Boy which was the right call and he had a solid run in AEW.

                      I'm just getting to the point where I want the older guys gone or stay backstage and see more younger talent get that TV time.

                        It's still weird how guys like Big Show and Mark Henry are in AEW. I'm guessing they've been helping talent backstage/just staying as commentator/interviewer on non Dynamite shows?

                          Mark Henry does his intro to the main event on Rampage every week, which has gone from being a meme to now being completely useless. This past week they didn't even do a promo, they just went straight from a video package to him saying it's time for the main event. Really dumb.

                          Except that it's Mark Henry and I'm never really gonna complain about seeing or hearing him on my TV. He's too likable.

                            AEW announces new Canadian dates and they're huge!

                            Summer of Canada (I wonder if Omega dethrones MJF?)

                            Dynamite and/or Rampage in Hamilton, Edmonton and Saskatchewan.

                            House show in Calgary (they have to have Bret here in some capacity)

                            And the BIG news

                            Forbidden Door 2 in Toronto! June 25th.

                            In some miraculous turn of events where the Leafs win the cup (which requires winning round 1 and then some), AEW could have them appear on AEW before their actual Stanley Cup parade!

                            I hope the tickets don't sell out within minutes again. It's at Scotiabank Arena (Leafs/Raptors arena) so that'll be a packed 20,000! I already spent a good amount on Smackdown in August, depending on prices for AEW, might be real tempted to go, not for as good seats as I got for WWE though.

                                It's making rethink my Summerslam week plans. Go to Toronto for Forbidden Door in June then just hit Detroit in August for Summerslam instead of doing Toronto a few days then hopping over to Detroit for Summerslam.

                                Forbidden Door 2 with the roster now, would be worth it. Like you said though, hopefully they don't sell out in minutes.
