Samoa Joe, HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata look set to face Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
The Learning Tree attacked Private Party’s Isiah Kennedy & Marq Quen after Jericho and Bill defeated them in a tag team match on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision.
The attack brought out Samoa Joe, HOOK & Katsuyori Shibata to make the save. That trio had opened the show with a win over The Premier Athletes.
Joe then made the challenge for the pay-per-view on June 30th.
