The "Forbidden Door" Has Apparently Been Closed When It Comes To Impact Wrestling

 

The working relationship between AEW and Impact Wrestling is reportedly over.

AEW’s “Forbidden Door” to Impact began last December as AEW World Champion Kenny Omega began appearing on Impact TV, but as previously reported, the relationship ended and the 'Forbidden Door' appears to be shut as of last Saturday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view, according to various wrestling news personnel. 

Bound For Glory saw AEW star Christian Cage drop the Impact World Title to Josh Alexander, who immediately lost the strap to Moose, who was cashing in his “Call Your Shot Gauntlet” opportunity. There will be no rematch for Cage, and there’s no talk of anyone in AEW challenging Moose.

A source in Impact told certain wrestling news sites (including this one) that the original report "possibly", may not be 100% accurate as Cage dropping the World Title at Bound For Glory was the end of the story that began last December. This was said to be the plan since the spring. It was noted that the door is open for the two companies to do more together, but nothing is planned for the short-term as of now. Plus Impact was recently working with Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance as well as New Japan Pro Wrestling, so it's not like Impact doesn't have, other options. 

Cage did not work this week’s Impact TV tapings in Las Vegas, and Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers have not been used on AEW TV for several weeks. As for Don Callis, while his on screen absence has been considered a 'blessing' by many wrestling fans, he is still under contract with AEW and rumors in the AEW Locker room is, he will be back soon as Kenny Omega’s manager.

It's been noted earlier this month how AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker and former Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, who just dropped the title to Mickie James at the pay-per-view, had approached company officials on both sides to pitch ideas for a feud, and also for a tag team with the two linking up.

There is no word on if AEW and Impact officials are considering more plans for the future, and if they don't.. As I said Impact has other options and doesn't really NEED, AEW's so called "forbidden Door"
