AEW Reworks Forbidden Door Card as 5 Stars Miss Out Over Visas and Injuries

Summary
Tony Khan said booking Sunday’s Forbidden Door became a “massive challenge” after visa problems and injuries forced AEW to change its original pay-per-view plans.
Five named wrestlers — Beast Mortos, Komander, Hechicero, Gabe Kidd and AEW National Champion Mark Davis — were among those unavailable because of visa renewals or other entry issues.
Khan said several wrestlers based in Mexico have lacked visas in recent weeks, while some Stardom talent also missed preferred dates, though he called Stardom AEW’s best-organized partner on visas.
Injuries across both the men’s and women’s rosters further reshaped the lineup, but Khan said AEW still has a strong card for the June 28 show.
