MJF returned to All Elite Wrestling on this week’s episode of Dynamite after being away from the ring since September. Fans had been eagerly awaiting his comeback, and he did not disappoint. In a surprising turn of events, MJF took to the mic to berate top AEW stars Samoa Joe, Hangman Page, and Swerve Strickland.
Bully Ray, a WWE veteran, lauded MJF’s performance during this segment, particularly praising his mic skills. The former AEW World Champion didn’t hold back as he insulted all three competitors, claiming they were incapable of leading AEW as the World Champion. Subsequently, Friedman cashed in his Casino Gauntlet contract to insert himself into the Triple Threat title match at Worlds End, turning it into a 4-way showdown.
During an episode of Busted Open, Bully Ray expressed his admiration for MJF’s ability to take on three of AEW’s top stars single-handedly. He commended MJF for his exceptional mic work, stating that this moment has solidified him as one of the biggest names in pro-wrestling.
“I think Max has hit his first stage of f*ck you in the wrestling business. And Max took three of the biggest stars in AEW. One of the most credible guys in all of pro wrestling, Samoa Joe, Swerve everybody’s favorite, and Hangman Adam Page, who seems to sometimes be on top of the world and sometimes not so much. And Max, with one full swoop of his lightsaber, cut them all in half. They [Page, Swerve, & Joe] sit there and took it,” said Bully Ray.
MJF is scheduled to compete on the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, marking his first match since his loss to Mark Briscoe at All Out. With AEW announcing a special Christmas Eve edition of Dynamite, all eyes will be on MJF as he steps back into the ring. The opponent for his singles match has yet to be revealed, but it will undoubtedly be a crucial battle for The Salt of the Earth before his 4-Way title showdown against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page.
As the anticipation builds for MJF’s return to in-ring action, only time will tell what surprises await on the next edition of AEW Dynamite. This match will serve as a momentum-deciding moment for MJF as he prepares for the high-stakes showdown at Worlds End.
In conclusion, MJF’s return to AEW has generated significant buzz within the wrestling community, with fans eagerly awaiting his next move. With his exceptional mic skills and undeniable talent in the ring, MJF continues to solidify his status as one of the top stars in the world of professional wrestling.
