One of the marquee matches at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door is a Lights Out Steel Cage Match. The Death Riders have once again teamed up with The Young Bucks to take on Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay. In a lights-out match, anything goes, which favors Moxley’s team.

Here is my prediction for Team Allin vs. Team Moxley at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door.
Lights Out Steel Cage Match Prediction
This match features 10 of the world’s best wrestlers and has the potential to deliver a special match. Darby Allin returned at AEW All In Texas and has been battling The Death Riders ever since. But at Forbidden Door, Darby Allin will have Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay by his side. It is great to see the legendary Hiroshi Tanahashi join Allin’s team in his final appearance in the United Kingdom.
Even after losing at All In Texas, Jon Moxley and The Death Riders have attempted to regain control of AEW. Although Darby Allin has a dream team of fan favorites, it seems like Moxley’s group could be too much to overcome. The Death Riders and The Young Bucks share the same goal: to brutalize everyone in sight and take over the company. They are both due for a significant victory, and with Will Ospreay not being at full health, it could take a toll on Team Allin.
Prediction: Team Moxley defeats Team Allin in the Lights Out Steel Cage Match.
