WrestleCon Owner Proposes Idea Of Tony Khan Holding AEW Forbidden Door Weekend In U.S. While WWE WrestleMania 43 Is In Saudi Arabia

A recent fan virtual Sign-it-live signing event for Highspots featured WWE Hall of Famer and AEW personality Mick Foley as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Foley and host and WrestleCon and Highspots owner Michael Bochicchio thoughts about the idea of AEW CEO Tony Khan holding an AEW Forbidden Door weekend in the United States while WWE is in Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania 43 in 2027.

Mick Foley – “Just a heads-up, I’m gonna be cutting way back on outside appearances in 2027. I’m gonna make AEW my priority… It might be one convention, or two signings in a weekend but just one weekend a month I’m gonna do some outside stuff.”

Michael Bochicchio – “Well, hopefully you’ll fit WrestleCon into that schedule.”

Foley – “Oh! Where is it gonna be this year?”

Bochicchio – “That’s the question. I need to get ahold of Tony (Khan). Here’s my idea. I’m gonna pitch it to you. He does this pay-per-view called Forbidden Door where he brings in other groups. I think we should make a global weekend out of that pay-per-view.”

Foley – “Whoa! Woah, and hold it where?”

Bochicchio – “Well, I mean, I’ll let Tony decide where he wants to hold it… I think the fans want something like that.”

Foley – “They do. I mean, it’s tradition that we have this week-long celebration of wrestling.” 

Bochicchio – “We’re not gonna do it in Saudi.”

Foley – “No. I know the money might be good but, man, it’s just leaving a very wide space for someone to fill that void.”
