OSPREAY, STRICKLAND EXPECTED TO BE OUT GOING FORWARD AND MORE AEW NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2025-08-24 20:57:00

The belief within AEW is that both Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland will be out of action going forward after today's Forbidden Door PPV.  Ospreay is heading towards neck surgery.  Strickland has been dealing with a knee issue for some time.

Kyle Fletcher received stitches tonight after his bout with Hiromu Takahashi.

For those who asked about MVP not being at the PPV, we are told he wasn't expected to appear and it's not a case of there being an issue with travel or anything similar.

Mercedes Mone pushed for a Celebration at the post-PPV media scrum on Dynamite, which would be in Philly this Wednesday at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Tony Khan noted that going forward, anyone who wins a championship match will have to declare that title bout a week in advance, so the company can properly promote the title bout.  So, they are eliminating Money in the Bank style "cash-ins" from the AEW realm.

Morale, which has been really good of late, was absolutely high after the Glasgow and London sellouts.
