MJF sends a bold message after getting involved in a backstage brawl with current AEW champion

On this week's Dynamite, AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page tricked MJF into executing his Casino Gauntlet Match contract at an upcoming pay-per-view. By the time The Salt of the Earth realized what had happened, it was too late. Tony Khan has made Hangman vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship at Forbidden Door 2025 official.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman was evidently furious for walking right into The Anxious Millennial Cowboy's trap. After Dynamite's conclusion, the former brutally attacked the AEW World Champion backstage.

Soon after, MJF released a terrifying statement on X. The former Hurt Syndicate member guaranteed fans that what they saw last night was just the start, and he has more sinister things planned.

"You ain’t seen nothing yet," he wrote.

If Friedman defeats Hangman at Forbidden Door, he will become a two-time All Elite Wrestling World Champion. It is unlikely that the latter's title reign will end this early. However, professional wrestling is quite unpredictable. Only time will tell what the future holds for them.
