Marina Shafir and Daniel Garcia Set Sights on Swerve Strickland Ahead of Forbidden Door

With AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on the horizon, Marina Shafir and Daniel Garcia have turned their attention toward Swerve Strickland, who is scheduled to square off against Will Ospreay at the upcoming crossover pay-per-view event.

Shafir took a playful but pointed shot at Swerve, riffing on his signature “Whose House? Swerve’s House” catchphrase by flipping it on its head — letting her cat answer the question instead. It’s the kind of taunting that signals the tension building around Swerve as one of AEW’s biggest matches of the summer draws closer. Garcia, meanwhile, has also aligned himself against Swerve as part of the storyline heat heading into the show.

Swerve vs. Ospreay is shaping up to be one of the marquee bouts of Forbidden Door, a dream matchup pitting two of the most athletic and dynamic performers in the sport against one another. The event brings together talent from both AEW and NJPW, and the Swerve-Ospreay clash has been a focal point of the build.

Elsewhere on the Forbidden Door card, the Owen Hart Cup tournament continues to take shape. On the women’s side, Maya World has punched her ticket to the finals, adding another compelling storyline thread to what is already a stacked card.

With Forbidden Door approaching fast, the pieces are clearly falling into place — and Swerve Strickland has no shortage of people looking to make his path to Ospreay as difficult as possible.
