Another Injury Causes Change To AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Event
AEW and NJPW’s Forbidden Door event is coming on the 26th, but the card needed to be changed again. Now Tomohiro Ishii is out of action.
Tomohiro Ishii was set to take on Pac, Miro, and Malakai Black in a fatal four-way for the AEW All-Atlantic Title. Now Ishii is out of commission.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s official website broke the unfortunate news that Ishii is now out of the match. Clark Connors will replace him at the historic pay-per-view.
Tomohiro Ishii, who was scheduled to compete on June 26 at AEWxNJPW Presents Forbidden Door, has sustained a left knee injury and is not medically cleared to compete.
