HENARE Challenges Any Team To Step Up At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door
HENARE issues a challenge for Forbidden Door.
The lineup for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door is filling out, but the IWGP Tag Team Champions are without a match.
On social media, HENARE issued a challenge to any team that was willing to step up and face him and Great-O-Khan at Forbidden Door on June 28.
“O-Khan and I are ready for anyone who wants to step up,” he wrote.
O-Khan and I are ready for anyone who wants to step up.

A couple of hours later, after no one answered the call, he replied, “No team responded to HENARE’s call to battle. Where has the mana gone?”
Shortly after, Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) did answer the challenge. It remains to be seen if the match will be made official.
The United Empire duo won the IWGP Tag Team Titles at NJPW Dominion when they defeated the Knockout Bros (OSKAR & Yuto-Ice).
A three-way tag team match between The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson), El Sky Team (Mistico & Mascara Dorada) and Unbound Co (Shingo Takagi & Titan) was added to Forbidden Door.
