Four Major Shows Collide This Weekend: Forbidden Door, Night of Champions, Slammiversary, and NXT Great American Bash All Set

Professional wrestling fans are in for one of the busiest weekends on the calendar, with four significant events running back-to-back across the industry’s top promotions.

The highlight of the weekend is AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, the joint supershow that brings together talent from All Elite Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling under one roof. It runs alongside WWE’s Night of Champions, TNA’s Slammiversary, and NXT’s Great American Bash — a remarkable convergence of major events that gives fans wall-to-wall premium programming to work through.

Beyond the weekend’s card slate, attention is also turning toward New Japan’s G1 Climax tournament, with the full field of competitors and the schedule of dates now in place. The G1 remains one of the most prestigious round-robin tournaments in all of professional wrestling, and the lineup of participants will shape the conversation around NJPW’s heavyweight division for weeks to come.

Also receiving coverage is FantasticaMania Mexico, NJPW’s lucha-flavored touring event, which has recently wrapped up its latest run.

For fans trying to manage the viewing load, this weekend represents a genuine test of loyalty — Night of Champions and Slammiversary have historically been reliable pay-per-view staples for their respective promotions, while Forbidden Door has quickly established itself as a marquee crossover event since its debut. NXT Great American Bash rounds out the slate with the developmental brand looking to make its own mark amid the noise.

With this much happening in a single weekend, the days ahead figure to generate significant talking points heading into the second half of 2026.
