AEW star MJF pulls off despicable act; unmasks popular luchador on live TV

MJF has just added to the list of heinous acts he has committed throughout his career. Following his win moments ago, he added insult to injury by unmasking a popular luchador on live TV.

Earlier tonight, The Hurt Syndicate faced off against the trio of "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Máscara Dorada. The CMLL star was stepping in for Komander after he was attacked backstage before the show.

It was a good contest between both sides, as the high-flyers were able to hold their own despite a size and strength disadvantage. This would not last long, as The Hurt Syndicate ultimately won the match, with MJF scoring a pinfall.

After the match, he continued to go after the luchador. He then attempted to unlace his mask and, after doing so, forcefully attempted to take it off. Friedman was able to do so, thereby embarrassing Dorada in front of the entire world. He held the mask up for everyone to see, which is one of the most disrespectful moves toward a luchador.

MJF did not expect a blindside attack from none other than Mistico, whom he is set to face at Grand Slam: Mexico next week. The luchador hit him with a La Mistica and only had to let go of the hold when he saw the rest of The Hurt Syndicate come in. Things are far from over.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
