It would also create space for AEW to rebuild the TNT Title on television while establishing the new All Atlantic Championship as a belt worth pursuing. Not only that but exposing All Elite's championship to audiences in Japan can only be positive for the title's prestige moving forward-especially with someone like Tanahashi defending the belt as a fighting champion. With Punk's injury timeline so unclear at this point, a title chase across multiple continents seems like an outstanding way for AEW and Moxley to kill a few months before Punk is ready to wrestle again. That would set White or MJF up as one of the top heels in two different brands while giving Moxley something to chase as Punk recovers from foot surgery. He seemed destined to take on New Japan's Ace while defending the US Title, but that never came to fruition due to a variety of extenuating circumstances. Instead, he wanted to face the best of the best, regardless of promotion and had an outstanding run as NJPW's IWGP United States Champion. AEW fans may forget that when the former Dean Ambrose left WWE, it wasn't simply to go All Elite and call it a career. It's a bout that is several years in the making, even though Moxley and Tanahashi have never had a singles match against each other in their careers. Meanwhile, Tanahashi got the victory over Hirooki Goto at Dominion on June 12, earning the right to fight Moxley for the interim championship at Forbidden Door.
Moxley secured his spot after downing Kyle O'Reilly in a barnburner on the June 8 edition of Wednesday Night Dynamite. Hiroshi Tanahashi is set to face Jon Moxley for the interim AEW World Championship at Forbidden Door, and there are a few reasons why NJPW's Ace should go over in the presumed main event of the evening.
