The stage for Okada vs. Danielson was set back at NJPW Dominion earlier this month when Danielson challenged Okada to a match. Okada would accept the challenge days later at a press conference. With Danielson’s challenge issued via video, Wednesday’s meeting — should Okada answer Danielson’s call — will be the first time the two have ever stood across from each other inside the squared circle.

Danielson vs. Okada is just one of four big matches announced for Forbidden Door, including “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry challenging SANADA for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, MJF defending the AEW World Title against Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for Omena’s IWGP United States Championship. 

In addition to Danielson’s callout of Okada, tomorrow’s “Dynamite” will feature a Blind Eliminator tag team tournament, The Hardys vs. The Gunns, Kris Statlander defending the TBS Championship against Taya Valkyrie, and Orange Cassidy and Katsuyori Shibata taking on Daniel Garcia and Zack Sabre Jr., in a match that may have Forbidden Door ramifications.
