B finished a close second with 32 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>-33 percent of our voters gave Hangman Page vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship the best match of the night honors. Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, and Gabe Kidd in a Lights Out Steel Cage match finished second with 25 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I gave the show a B grade during my same-night audio review. Last year&#8217;s Forbidden Door finished with a B grade from 34 percent of the voters. The 2023 Forbidden Door finished with an A grade from 59 percent of the voters. The first Forbidden Door event in 2022 received an A grade from 47 percent of the voters.
