Kazuchika Okada vs. Hangman Page?
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has reported that an IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match between titleholder Kazuchika Okada and Hangman Page is internally listed for Forbidden Door.
The other match listed was indeed CM Punk vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi for the AEW World Championship.
There is a bit of history between Okada and Hangman. The two competed in NJPW\'s G1 Climax back in 2018. Okada picked up the win.
