Report: AEW Catches WWE and TNA Off Guard with Forbidden Door Scheduling Move

AEW has stirred up plenty of buzz this week—and not just with fans. A new report suggests that both WWE and TNA Wrestling were left in the dark when Tony Khan’s company made a major announcement regarding Forbidden Door 2026.

It was revealed on Wednesday that this year’s Forbidden Door event will take place on June 28 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The twist? That date just so happens to clash directly with TNA’s Slammiversary, which is set for the same night in Boston, Massachusetts.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, neither WWE nor TNA had any prior warning about AEW’s plans. Both promotions reportedly learned about the scheduling decision at the same time as the public, making the move feel like a surprise shot across the bow.

For TNA, the timing is especially significant. Slammiversary is widely considered one of the promotion’s biggest shows of the year, second only to its flagship events. Naturally, running head-to-head with AEW—particularly on a card as loaded as Forbidden Door—is far from ideal.

Some may have expected WWE to step in and bolster TNA’s lineup in response, especially given their growing working relationship. However, the report indicates WWE was just as blindsided and had no involvement in the decision or any immediate counter-strategy.

Meanwhile, AEW is aiming to make this year’s Forbidden Door the biggest yet. The 2026 edition won’t just feature talent from AEW and NJPW—it’s also set to include stars from CMLL and STARDOM, turning the event into a massive multi-promotional showcase.

Whether intentional or not, AEW has thrown a major wrinkle into the summer wrestling calendar—and all eyes will be on how the competition responds.

MJF Drops AEW Title in Shocking Fashion To Darby Allin—Backstage Reason Behind Sudden Loss Revealed

AEW fans were left stunned on the April 15 episode of Dynamite: Spring BreakThru when MJF dropped the AEW World Championship in rapid fashion—but as it turns out, the decision may have had less to do with storyline shock value and more to do with real-world commitments.

MJF’s latest title run began at Worlds End 2025, where he outlasted a stacked field including Swerve Strickland, Adam Page, and Samoa Joe to reclaim the top prize. Over the following months, he built a solid list of defenses, turning back challengers like Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Hangman Page, and even Kenny Omega. It looked like another dominant chapter for “The Devil” was underway.

That momentum came to a sudden halt when Darby Allin stepped up. After earning his shot by defeating Andrade El Idolo at AEW Dynasty 2026, Allin capitalized in a big way, defeating MJF decisively to win the AEW World Title. The quick nature of the match raised eyebrows immediately, with many fans questioning why AEW would end MJF’s reign so abruptly after just 109 days.

According to a report from B.J. Bethel, there’s a practical explanation behind the scenes. MJF is reportedly heading straight into a film project, with production commitments that have been locked in for quite some time. His involvement wasn’t a last-minute development either—his name has apparently been attached to filming schedules and call sheets for months, making his temporary exit from AEW programming inevitable.

As for what’s next, MJF’s status for Double or Nothing 2026 remains unclear. While nothing has been confirmed regarding an appearance, the report suggests that the title change—and even the way it unfolded on TV—was mapped out well in advance to accommodate his schedule.

In other words, while the loss may have felt sudden on screen, it was anything but rushed behind the curtain.

Hollywood Pushback Grows Against Potential Paramount–WBD Merger, Raising Questions for AEW

The proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery is facing major resistance—and it’s no longer just about business logistics.

A coalition of more than 1,000 professionals from across the film and television industry has signed an open letter urging regulators to block the deal. This group includes actors, writers, directors, and crew members, with over 75 Academy Award winners and nominees lending their names to the effort.

Their concern centers on what a merger of this scale could mean for the creative landscape. The argument is straightforward: fewer major studios often leads to fewer opportunities. According to the letter, combining two media giants could limit competition, reduce creative independence, and narrow the diversity of stories being told.

The signatories also pointed out that media consolidation is already a growing issue. In their view, approving another massive merger would only tighten the grip a handful of corporations have over the entertainment industry—something they believe could have long-term consequences for both creators and audiences.

Up to this point, much of the discussion around the Paramount–WBD deal has focused on financial viability and regulatory red tape. However, this organized response from within Hollywood adds a new layer of pressure. Regulators now have to consider not just economic factors, but also the concerns of the creative community itself.

There are also potential ripple effects for the wrestling world. AEW’s programming currently airs across Warner Bros. Discovery platforms like TNT, TBS, and HBO Max. Any delays, restructuring, or changes tied to the merger could impact media rights deals, scheduling, and the company’s long-term streaming strategy.

At this stage, the situation has clearly evolved beyond a corporate transaction. For many in Hollywood, it’s become a broader debate about control—specifically, who gets to shape the future of entertainment and decide which stories reach the audience.
