Forbidden Door (2022) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view co-promoted by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It was held on June 26, 2022 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door event to take place and the first event that AEW and NJPW have held together. This was also the first professional wrestling event held at the United Center since 2000 when World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held Spring Stampede in the arena.

The main event of the show saw Jon Moxley defeat Hiroshi Tanahashi to become the new interim AEW World Championship. Moxley would put Tanahashi in a rear naked choke before hitting his Paradigm Shift and getting the pinfall victory to become the new interim AEW World Champion.

During the event, Bryan Danielson announced Zack Sabre Jr.'s hand-picked opponent. The opponent was revealed to be Claudio Castagnoli who made his unannounced AEW debut. He would go on to defeat Sabre Jr. at the event after hitting him with his Ricola Bomb.
