Forbidden Door is here, and that means it's time for Blade Daily to make a full slate of predictions that history suggests are almost guaranteed to be wrong.

In this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade previews every announced match for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026, breaking down the biggest stories, potential surprises, and the outcomes that could shape AEW, NJPW, STARDOM, and CMLL heading into the summer.

The conversation also turns to one of the week's biggest talking points: AEW Dynamite fitting eight matches into just over two hours while maintaining a remarkably high level of in-ring quality. Is that the formula AEW has been searching for? Could shorter, more focused matches create the television time needed to better showcase the Women's Division without sacrificing what fans love about Dynamite?

Finally, Blade weighs in on the blockbuster 12-man steel cage main event at Forbidden Door. Is it the can't-miss attraction of the event, or are there stronger stories elsewhere on the card that deserve even more attention?
