NJPW Forbidden Door well and truly open?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Misterioso<\/strong>, a Mexican luchador who has been wrestling as a part of New Japan Pro Wrestling<\/em> in the past year wrestling 11 matches on NJPW Strong, will make his AEW Dark debut this week in a match against Brandon Cutler<\/strong>. Misterioso\u2019s debut is notable as he will be the first NJPW wrestler to appear on AEW Dark, coming through the Forbidden Door to make his AEW debut. \u00a0AEW<\/em> has filed trademarks for the \u201cForbidden Door\u201d and Forbidden Portal\u201d which has whipped wrestling fans into a frenzy with speculation running wild about a future long-term partnership with New Japan.<\/p>\n

The deal is said to bring benefits to both AEW and New Japan with both promotions having the chance to do huge talent exchanges, which has AEW fans chomping at the bit to see the likes of Okada<\/strong> and Ibushi<\/strong> on Dynamite. However New Japan will also get a lot of benefits from the partnerships with AEW, as AEW Dark gives the NJPW young boys a fantastic chance to build on their wrestling experience by working the American style with AEW wrestlers on the Tuesday show. Misterioso could be the first of many NJPW stars to wrestle on Dark which will potentially be the start of a very exciting future AEW Dark.<\/p>\n

Renee Michelle makes her debut<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WWE <\/em>fans will recognize Renee Michelle<\/strong><\/a> from her appearance on WWE TV, when she appeared with her real-life husband Drake Maverick<\/strong>, in a humorous little storyline where Drake Maverick’s frequent attempts to become the WWE 24\/7 Champion got in the way of their relationship. So devoted to the storyline were Maverick and Michelle that they allowed WWE cameras to film their actual wedding, with the 24\/7 Championship getting in the way of their big day.<\/p>\n

Renee Michelle never wrestled for the WWE main roster in that storyline, but she is an experienced wrestler in her own right. Michelle is known for her work in Maryland Championship Wrestling<\/strong>, <\/em>East Coast Wrestling Association,<\/strong> and National Wrestling League<\/strong> in which she became a Women\u2019s Champion in each promotion. She has also wrestled in SHINE Wrestling <\/strong>as well as having a few appearances in WWE before the Drake Maverick storyline. She appeared as a Rosebud for Adam Rose<\/strong> on the 2014 edition of the Slammy Awards and was also a competitor in the 2017 Mae Young Classic<\/em>, in which she lost in the first round to Candice LeRae<\/strong>. This week on AEW Dark she will wrestle Shanna<\/strong> in what should be an exciting match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
