Reigning AEW World Champion MJF is apparently glad he did not go last in the series of matches at Double or Nothing.

While the pay-per-view main event is often reserved for the World title defense, AEW did things a little differently by having the four-way bout for MJF's belt go before the final match. This raised questions about the card structure during the ensuing media scrum, to which MJF had a sassy response.

According to the Salt of the Earth, it was best that he did not go after Moxley's bloodbath of a match:

"No, no," he stated. "Why the f*** would I want to roll around in Jon Moxley's blood? I'm f***ing good on that, okay? No thanks! (...) I'd rather not run around in all that f***ing mid-blood," he continued. "Like, can we, can we get real, real quick? That's f***ing disgusting." (H/T: WrestlingInc)

He further explained how the main event did not necessarily have to be the world title defense, citing examples from previous Double or Nothing pay-per-views.

The AEW World Champion also claimed Kevin Nash was a "big mark" for his style

MJF's traversal of the thin line between kayfabe and reality has gained him a lot of praise from pro-wrestling veterans like Kevin Nash, according to the World Champion himself.

Speaking at the media scrum, MJF responded to a question by a representative from Kevin Nash's Kliq This. He claimed that Nash was a big fan of the Salt of the Earth:

"Kevin Nash! I know Kevin, he's a big mark for my sh*t. He's also literally a big...mark. Yeah, he's big, he's very big. (30:25-30:32)

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for the reigning AEW World Champion in the following months.
