Twelve men walked through “death’s door” on Sunday night at All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) Forbidden Door with two goals in mind.
Mark Briscoe and his five team members were hoping to beat AEW world champion MJF and the five members that had been forced to support him in a steel cage match. If Briscoe’s team won, Briscoe would receive an AEW World Championship match against MJF.

AEW debuted a circular cage to keep all 12 men housed in. The unique setup brought its own type of dangerous fun for each of the competitors. Thumbtacks were introduced into the mix, Kyle O’Reilly used a Nintendo Entertainment System as a weapon, Kevin Knight was shocked at the top of the cage and fell through a few tables and even Lio Rush made an appearance.
It all came down to whether Team Briscoe would be able to conquer the Don Callis Family and MJF. Andrade El Idolo, who was supposed to back MJF, had his own chance to put Briscoe away. But he refused to take orders from MJF and took off his “Team DCMJF” shirt to reveal some gear with some expletives aimed at the champion and Don Callis.
Andrade hit MJF with his signature backfist. Jake Doyle was perplexed and Andrade kicked him in the groin. Briscoe hit Doyle with a Jay Driller and pinned him.
Briscoe’s team of O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Darby Allin and Konosuke Takeshita defeated MJF, Andrade, Doyle, Knight, Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada.
