Will Ospreay Returns for Dangerous Steel Cage War at Forbidden Door
AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 has arrived, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable events in wrestling history. Fans around the world tuned in as London’s O2 Arena played host to a night of dream matches, shocking twists, and high-stakes showdowns. Among the most talked-about stories on this stacked card is the surprise return of Will Ospreay, who stepped right back into the chaos despite recently revealing a serious neck injury.
For weeks, the tension between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley’s Death Riders had been building to a boiling point. Allin, never one to back down, went to extremes just to get Moxley’s attention—he even resorted to violent ambushes and near-career-ending stunts. But when it seemed like he was hopelessly outnumbered, Ospreay stormed back onto the scene and turned the Forbidden Door spotlight directly on himself.
Also Read:The match that was set in motion is nothing short of monumental: a Lights Out Steel Cage Match. Ospreay joined forces with Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Hiroshi Tanahashi to face Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, the Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd. The stipulation means the match isn’t officially sanctioned by AEW—so anything goes, and nothing is off limits. For fans, it promises an unpredictable war. For the wrestlers, especially someone like Ospreay carrying a lingering neck injury, it could mean career-altering consequences.
That’s what makes Ospreay’s return even more striking. Not long ago, he admitted surgery was on the horizon, and that his body was far from fully healed. Yet, with Forbidden Door happening in his home country, the opportunity to fight on this stage proved too powerful to ignore. He stepped back into the ring knowing the risks, openly stating he might never be the same again. But if anything defines Will Ospreay, it’s his refusal to let limitations dictate his path.
Adding to the drama, Moxley was visibly unsettled when he realized Tanahashi, his longtime rival, would be across the cage from him. That detail alone intensified the bad blood, and with the Young Bucks standing at Moxley’s side again, the Death Riders seemed to have the numbers stacked in their favor. Still, Ospreay and his team carry an explosive mix of speed, strength, and resilience that could tip the balance.
As fans watched the final Dynamite before Forbidden Door, the animosity between the two sides erupted into a massive arena-wide brawl. That chaos ended with Allin diving off a mezzanine into the Death Riders and their allies, a preview of just how far everyone is willing to go inside the cage.
This isn’t just another match on the card. It’s a collision of legacies, egos, and bodies willing to be broken for the sake of victory. The question isn’t just who will win—it’s who will walk out able to continue. For Will Ospreay, it’s more than a comeback. It’s a gamble with his health, his future, and his pride. And on a night where the world’s best collide, that gamble might be the story everyone remembers long after the cage door closes.
