The event featured many of the company's top stars, although Chris Jericho was notably absent from the card, despite having competed at the event every year since its first edition in 2022. Interestingly, AEW announcer Tony Schiavone recently revealed on his podcast What Happened When that Tony Khan had not brought up The Nueve's name backstage during the company's UK tour this month. However, he also expressed some uncertainty while discussing Jericho's status, noting:“I was backstage with Tony Khan most of this entire trip (for Forbidden Door). Chris Jericho’s name was not mentioned. But that doesn’t mean anything. Tony, a lot of times, he’ll get on the phone with that person and not tell anybody. He likes to keep things close to the vest. I don’t know. I really don’t know," Schiavone said. [H/T - WrestlePurists on X]Jericho has been gone from television since walking out on his former acolytes, Big Bill and Bryan Keith, this past April.
