Aussie Open Reflect On AEW Appearances Ahead Of Forbidden Door

NJPW

Aussie Open has reflected on their AEW appearances ahead of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.

Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher of Aussie Open have reached new heights in their careers throughout 2022.

After breaking out from the UK independent scene, The United Empire duo have stepped into the spotlight for NJPW STRONG and AEW throughout the calendar year.

Ahead of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Davis and Fletcher appeared on All Elite Wrestling television several times, including the June 22 edition of Dynamite where they teamed with Will Ospreay to face Orange Cassidy, Trent and Rocky Romero.

Speaking with NJPW’s official website, the inaugural NJPW STRONG Tag Team Champions reflected on their AEW run leading into Forbidden Door.

Davis said:

“That whole experience came about really quickly. We had about a week’s notice before that first Dynamite, so we didn’t have the time to be nervous. There might be times where we’re a little anxious, but we’re hungry, we’re confident in what we can do and we’ve done it for so long now. So getting the opportunity to wrestle in front of all those people wasn’t nerve wracking, it was something we’ve been waiting for for a long time. And to do it with two of my best friends in Kyle and Ospreay, there was no issues with chemistry. It felt like a home game for us, not overwhelming at all.”

Fletcher added by explaining how they were eager to prove they were the best tag team in the world, saying:

“We were just ready. Just like we said about the pandemic, we were waiting and frustrated for so long not able to get those opportunities that when it finally came around we were screaming and ready to go. We know we’re the best tag team in the world and it’s just a case of showing everyone.”

Davis concluded by emphasizing that they’re feeling good and hungry, saying:

“Good. Really good. We haven’t seen Ospreay for a while since he’s been killing it in the G1, but I know he’s as hungry as we are. The other side of our bracket, if the Young Bucks’ partner is who we think it’s going to be (interview conducted before 8/17) then he’s going to be working extra hard to try and wrestle them in the second round. After all he did for us, we’ll jump on a grenade for him to make that happen, win the tournament and take those titles.”

Aussie Open will team up with Will Ospreay against Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks of The Elite in the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament Dynamite Finals on this Wednesday, August 31 edition of Dynamite from Chicago.
