MJF cost his rival a major victory on AEW Collision

Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been absent from All Elite Wrestling TV since he failed to dethrone Adam Page for the AEW World Championship last month at Forbidden Door 2025. In a backstage digital exclusive after the pay-per-view, The Wolf of Wrestling made it clear that he has unfinished business with Mark Briscoe because of how The Sussex County Chicken interfered in his World Title match against The Hangman.

Briscoe squared off against the Don Callis Family's Konosuke Takeshita this week on Collision to try and earn a shot at Kyle Fletcher's TNT Championship. Unfortunately for him, MJF showed up towards the end of the match and cost the former ROH World Champion the victory, allowing The Alpha to win with his finishing maneuver. Friedman then attacked and brawled with Briscoe afterward until security arrived to separate them.

MJF then challenged The Conglomeration member to a match, at any time and place, and with any stipulation of his choosing. Briscoe responded by inviting Friedman to battle him one-on-one at All Out: Toronto later this month.
