FTR And Brodido Wrestle To A Draw, Both Teams Set To Challenge For World Tag Team Titles At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door

The Hurt Syndicate gets some bad news about AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
On the August 20 edition of AEW Dynamite, FTR and Brodido (Brody King) faced off in the finals of the AEW Tag Team Title eliminator tournament.
After 30 matches of back-and-forth action, the match went to a draw. The final sequence between both teams started when FTR took out Brody King with a spike piledriver on the apron. Bandido was able to fight off both members of FTR for a short amount of time before the team came blazing back with a Shatter Machine, which only resulted in a near-fall.
Harwood and Wheeler then introduced a table to the match. King finally recovered and briefly brawled with Harwood. Wheeler went to send Bandido through a table, but he missed his dive, crashing through the table himself.
What does this mean for #ForbiddenDoor?!
