Young Bucks Set for Three-Way Tag Match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Facing El Sky Team and Unbound Co.

Saturday’s Collision served up a notable card addition for next Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view: The Young Bucks will compete in a three-way tag team match that brings together talent from both promotions.

Matt and Nick Jackson — former AEW World Tag Team Champions and former IWGP Tag Team Champions — will square off against Mistico and Mascara Dorada, representing El Sky Team, as well as the pairing of Shingo Takagi and Titan, competing as Unbound Co. The announcement was made during the Collision broadcast ahead of the pay-per-view.

The matchup is a natural showcase for the crossover event, pulling in competitors from different corners of the wrestling landscape. Mistico is a lucha libre legend whose career spans CMLL and a high-profile WWE run as Sin Cara, while Mascara Dorada has roots in CMLL and NXT. On the NJPW side, Shingo Takagi is a multi-time champion and one of the promotion’s most accomplished heavyweights, and Titan has carved out a significant role in New Japan in recent years.

The Young Bucks, meanwhile, have been central figures in AEW since the promotion’s founding and have a long history with NJPW dating back to their time as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. Their inclusion gives the match a high-profile anchor heading into what is shaping up to be a loaded Forbidden Door card.

With the pay-per-view just over a week away, the full picture of the event is continuing to come into focus.
