AEW Forbidden Door 2024 Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

No one has ever questioned Tony Khan's abilities as a matchmaker.

The AEW president routinely churns out quality PPV cards. After one night of exhilarating action, fans are quick to trumpet the next great era in the company, until Wednesday's Dynamite reminds everyone that the follow-up to those events is equally as important as the shows themselves.

That is the scenario facing the top dog in the company and his creative team emerging from Forbidden Door.

How do the characters progress, what chapters will be written in the ongoing stories fans have invested their energy in, and in what direction will the most prominent stories head next?

Unfortunately, the shortcomings of the boss and his team have been in their attempt actually book stories and angles that will lead to the next big show.

With AEW's next event being All In in Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 25, it will be even more important to put together a lucid show and product that fans feel they can commit their time and energy to. Not just a solid pro wrestling card.

Sunday's show was yet another in a long line of superb AEW PPVs, with great action across the board and some intriguing stories to track.

What's next for Storm, Shirakawa, and May? Baker has clearly inserted herself into the TBS Championship picture by way of her staredown with Mercedes Moné, but how do we get there without the good doctor just walking in and getting a title shot?

What is next for Ospreay, whose relationship with Don Callis must come to an end so he can be free and clear from an on-screen partnership that never should have existed in the first place?

When will we see Hangman Page pop back up and challenge Strickland for the AEW title?

Those stories, and lucid telling of them, will be of the utmost importance as the company heads to its new, annual extravaganza.

For now, Forbidden Door gets an easy thumbs up for a show that was rather excellent between the ropes.
