Amid his long-running feud with Mark Briscoe, Maxwell Jacob Friedman recently challenged the former ROH World Champion to a match at All Out 2025 with a stipulation of Briscoe's choice. Last Saturday on Collision, the 40-year-old announced that it would be a Tables 'n' Thumbtacks Match between him and Maxwell this Saturday.

Mark Briscoe also tried to put MJF through the thumbtacks on Collision before the latter ran away. Later, the official X handle of All Elite Wrestling shared a GIF of The Wolf of Wrestling running away with his CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, stating that MJF will have nowhere to run this Saturday at All Out.
