Jun 25, 2022 - by Steve Gerweck

Due to a fever and not being allowed to fly in as a result, Hiromu Takahashi is off Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

The NJPW standout was set to team with Sting, Darby Allin & Shingo Takagi against The Young Bucks, Hikuleo & El Phantasmo on the PPV, announced on Wednesday’s Dynamite.

The match will now be Sting, Allin & Takagi vs. the Bucks & ELP with Hikuleo in their corner.

It’s the latest change for the card due to injury as CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Tomohiro Ishii were all removed at several points over the last month due to various injuries.
