Adam Cole now has a match for Sunday's AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
Made on Friday's edition of AEW Rampage, Cole will take on former NJPW Strong Champion Tom Lawlor on the pay-per-view from Toronto, Canada.
Cole came out for a promo and was interrupted by his recent rival/future tag team partner MJF. The AEW World Champion said he talked to Tony Khan and got Cole booked against Lawlor for Sunday. Lawlor and Royce Isaacs then attacked Cole from behind while MJF slowly made his way down to the ring, pretending to want to help. Once he finally got there, Lawlor and Isaacs took off.
Lawlor didn't appear on last year's Forbidden Door and this will be his first-ever sojourn in an AEW ring. Cole competed in a four-way for the IWGP World title at Forbidden Door where he sustained a concussion that kept him out of action until last March.
