Jamie Hayter makes a thrilling comeback at the Forbidden Door event!
On August 25, 2025, the wrestling world experienced an unforgettable event at the O2 Arena in London. The Forbidden Door 2025 event, held in collaboration with AEW and NJPW, was sold out and attracted 18,992 enthusiastic spectators. This set a new record for the largest wrestling congregation in the O2 Arena's history. Fans were rewarded with a series of significant matches and title changes that provided emotional highlights and immersive action.
The Zero Hour pre-show featured an important All Star Eight Woman Tag Team Match. Megan Bayne and the Triangle of Madness team, consisting of Thekla, Skye Blue and Julia Hart, triumphed over opponents Queen Aminata, Harley Cameron, Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander. After the exciting match, there was a twist: Jamie Hayter returned to support Aminata. Hayter was previously ruled out of the storyline due to injury following Double or Nothing and returned following Thekla's debut in May, while Aminata took the reins against Thekla.
Exciting results and unexpected returns
The event featured some of the most spectacular matches wrestling fans could ask for. In one of the main matches, “Hangman” Adam Page successfully defended his AEW World Championship title against MJF. Toni Storm also secured victory while defending her AEW Women's World Championship against Athena and Mercedes Moné remained TBS Champion after defeating Bozilla, Alex Windsor and Persephone.
Another notable highlight was the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match, in which Zack Saber Jr. successfully defended his title against Nigel McGuinness. The AEW World Tag Team Championship was won by Brodido, consisting of Bandido and Brody King, who defeated the Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) and FTR. In another thrilling duel, the team The Opps (Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs) defeated the Bullet Club War Dogs.
