Jay White will be defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
During the June 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, Adam Cole jumped on the microphone following Hangman Page's victory over Silas Young and asked who was ready for storytime with Adam Cole. Jay White then came out and, once again, told both Cole and Page that neither of them would be his opponent at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
After getting in the ring, a brawl broke out between Switchblade and Hangman, but Cole came down and assisted White. Just as they were about to hit Hangman with the title, Okada made his Dynamite debut, coming to Hangman's aid.
Later in the night, it was revealed that all four men will face off for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Forbidden Door on Sunday, June 26.
White won his title ten days ago from Okada at NJPW Dominion.
