Overview
- MJF interrupted a contract signing with Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page on AEW Dynamite to declare his entry into the title bout.
- AEW confirmed he invoked the guaranteed world title shot he earned by winning the Casino Gauntlet at All In Texas.
- The championship match at Worlds End on Dec. 27 is now Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page vs. MJF.
- In his promo, MJF said he intended to prove he is not a coward, targeted Hangman Page, and reignited his resentment toward Joe for taking the title two years ago.
- His return followed a TV absence after losing a Tables N Tacks match to Mark Briscoe at All Out, and his timing reflects Tony Khan’s notice requirement.
