Adam Page, Adam Cole Vie for Forbidden Door Shot at NJPW's Top Belt
Both former AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page and former NXT Champion Adam Cole want a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV. Page declared his intentions to challenge for the title at the PPV on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, only for Cole to interrupt and claim he's the one who deserves the shot.
That was too much for Cole, who left the commentary booth and pointed out that Okada might not even be the champion by Forbidden Door because he has to face Bullet Club leader Jay White first. Additionally, Cole pointed out that he's the one that's been on a roll lately, recently winning the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament, and suggested he's the one who should get the title shot.
Where this leads is anyone's guess. Page or Cole vs. Okada or White would all make for compelling matches. The match could also end up as a triple threat or even a fatal four-way and still be a great match. AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door takes place on June 26th at the United Center in Chicago. The show will air on PPV, and it will stream on Bleacher Report, Fite TV, and NJPW World.
