Maxwell Jacob Friedman battled Mark Briscoe in a Table N' Tacks match. It was a brutal fight that shattered the bodies of both stars. However, Briscoe managed to pick up the win against the former AEW World Champion. What needs to be noted is that just a day prior, MJF unsuccessfully defended his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship against Mistico at CMLL's 92nd Anniversary show in Mexico.

Speaking with TheSportster, Tony Khan heavily praised The Salt of the Earth. He acknowledged the Happy Gilmore star's determination and resilience to be able to compete back-to-back nights in incredible matches. Khan expressed respect for Friedman, saying he is at his best when he wrestles.

"I have a lot of respect for what he did to have two amazing matches in two different countries. Incredibly, to go from Mexico, be an arena in in Mexico City, and then to go to Toronto, and in less than 24 hours to have two amazing matches, wrestling Místico for the CMLL World Title, and then wrestling Mark Briscoe in this Tables N' Tacks match at AEW All Out. It's amazing. I think MJF, even though he's not a great person, when MJF focuses on the wrestling, I do think that's when he's at his best." he said
