Summary
June 28's Forbidden Door card in San Jose was repeatedly reworked, with Tony Khan saying visa renewals and injuries left several planned wrestlers unavailable.
Khan named Beast Mortos, Komander, Hechicero and Gabe Kidd among those affected by immigration delays, while saying AEW National Champion Mark Davis should return very soon.
Mexico-based talent were hit especially hard, prompting AEW to adjust plans by sending Sammy Guevara to CMLL to defend the tag titles with Beast Mortos instead.
STARDOM talent have faced fewer entry problems, Khan said, and Starlight Kid is still expected this weekend as AEW leans on roster depth to keep the pay-per-view strong.
