At least one AEW champ is missing Forbidden Door due to a ‘massive challenge’ with visas

”Yes, that is a tremendous question. Yes, that has been a massive challenge in this event. There are a number of wrestlers that were factored in, coming from countries all over the world, that I’m looking forward to their return, that are not here and available right now. It speaks to the great depth of the AEW roster…that we have such an exciting pay-per-view card without a lot of the great stars available.

There are a number of stars in Mexico right now, some great wrestlers that I would love to have here, who have not had their visa in recent weeks. That would include Beast Mortos, Komander, Hechicero. And going through visa renewals with a number of the other wrestlers down there now as well, that I have not mentioned yet.”
