A title match has been added to the Forbidden Door 2026 card, with the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line before the main show even begins.
During the June 20 episode of AEW Collision, Thunder Rosa issued a direct challenge to reigning champions Megan Bayne and Lena Kross — collectively known as Divine Dominion — for a shot at the titles at Forbidden Door. Rosa told the champions she would be bringing a partner with her from CMLL, though she stopped short of revealing a name at the time. That mystery has since been resolved: her partner is Olympia, making this a true cross-promotional pairing that fits squarely within the spirit of Forbidden Door.
The match has been placed on the Buy-In, the pre-show portion of the event, giving it a high-profile slot to open the night. Divine Dominion have established themselves as a dominant force in the AEW women’s tag division since capturing the titles, and Rosa’s decision to reach into CMLL’s roster for backup signals just how seriously she’s taking the challenge. Olympia’s involvement also continues the tradition of Forbidden Door serving as a showcase for international talent alongside AEW’s homegrown stars.
For Rosa, who has long carried the banner of Mexican wrestling within AEW, teaming with a CMLL representative adds a meaningful layer to the match. Whether she and Olympia can gel quickly enough to dethrone a well-established team remains to be seen, but the Buy-In slot ensures this one will set the tone for the entire evening.
