Will Ospreay promised he would be back in the ring by Forbidden Door, and on Sunday, he is not walking to that ring alone. Ospreay will headline Forbidden Door in his native United Kingdom, as he, Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and NJPW’s Hiroshi Tanahashi take on Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd, and the Young Bucks in a Lights Out Steel Cage Match. While both teams are stacked with talent, 81% of us at Wrestling Inc. are backing Team Ospreay, and believe that the hometown hero will lead his team to victory at the O2.

This feud can be traced back to All In’s main event, where Ospreay helped even the odds against the Death Riders to guarantee “Hangman” Adam Page’s victory against the tyrannical, then-world champion Moxley. After a month of medical leave, Ospreay returned to AEW in mid-August to finish what he started, and over the weeks, Ospreay and Moxley have been recruiting AEW’s finest — some of them having issues with Moxley themselves, like Allin — to battle for glory, honor, and pride inside an unforgiving steel cage.

The odds seem stacked in Team Moxley’s favor. Not only does Team Moxley boast former tag and trio champions, but Death Riders affiliates Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir are almost guaranteed to play a role in Sunday’s match. It doesn’t help that several members of Team Ospreay are either currently injured, as is the case with Ospreay himself, or have a tenuous past with in-ring injuries. Despite all that, however, the deciding factor in Sunday’s match may lie in the crowd. The motivation for an Ospreay victory in his native UK may prove stronger than any injury or interference. With that, how could you fault the majority of our staff who are backing our local “bruv” in London?
