The 12-Man Steel Cage Match and Andrade's turn
The co-main event steel cage match saw Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, Konosuke Takeshita, and Darby Allin defeat MJF and the Don Callis Family Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle, Kazuchika Okada, and Andrade El Ídolo in 30 minutes and 45 seconds.
The decisive moment came when Andrade El Ídolo turned on his own team. With MJF attempting to use Andrade to hold Briscoe in place, Andrade instead struck MJF with a spinning back elbow, then removed his shirt to reveal one reading "F*** Don, F*** MJF." Briscoe subsequently hit Jake Doyle with the Jay Driller to earn the pinfall victory.
Following the win, Briscoe announced he will challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship on Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite.
Women's Owen Hart Cup Final Moné makes history
Mercedes Moné defeated Maya World in the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final in 24 minutes and 56 seconds. Moné is now the first wrestler in either bracket to win the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in back-to-back years.
Maya World had been on a remarkable run through the tournament, carrying additional emotional weight after losing her brother in the weeks leading up to the event. Moné has now set her sights on the AEW Women's World Championship, with a potential match against Thekla at All In: London anticipated.
Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
Kenny Omega defeated Zack Sabre Jr. in 26 minutes in a contrasting-styles contest that served as Omega's most high-profile singles match since returning from a near-fatal case of diverticulitis. A One-Winged Angel ended the match. The bout was the first singles meeting between the two men in over seven years, with Omega now having won all three of their encounters.
The main event Ospreay vs. Swerve
Will Ospreay defeated Swerve Strickland in 35 minutes and 6 seconds to win the 2026 Men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The match was a bloody contest with both men bloodied after being sent into steel ring steps and the announce desk. Ospreay hit a Styles Clash on the announce table, a Hidden Blade, and finally a Tiger Driver 97 to put Strickland away.
Yahoo Sports' recap awarded the match a score of 6/5, writing that the pair "delivered arguably the greatest professional wrestling match of all time" and that "the number of beats Ospreay and Strickland tapped into tonight was countless."
Ospreay, who had returned from major neck surgery earlier in 2026, will now challenge for the AEW World Championship at All In: London at Wembley Stadium on August 30, 2026. He will face either MJF or Mark Briscoe, depending on the outcome of Wednesday's Dynamite main event.
Additionally, Jay White returned at some point during the event, according to multiple reports, though the specific circumstances of his return were not detailed in initial results coverage.
The unique angle worth noting: Forbidden Door 2026 is the first edition of the event to be officially co-promoted by all four partner promotions AEW, NJPW, CMLL, and Stardom simultaneously. The previous four editions were primarily AEW-NJPW collaborations, with CMLL and Stardom added incrementally from 2024. That structural expansion four promotions under one banner with full co-promotional credit represents the most ambitious cross-company wrestling event since the Monday Night Wars era, and it arrived on the same night as WWE's counter-programming Great American Bash on NXT, which multiple observers noted failed to dent Forbidden Door's momentum.
