Former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) stirred up controversy with a segment on last night’s Dynamite: Maximum Carnage, sparking outrage among fans.
Known for his exceptional mic skills, MJF is a standout in the professional wrestling industry. Recently, he crossed paths with Jeff Jarrett, who expressed his ambition to win the AEW World Title. In a bold move, MJF offered to help Jarrett secure the title in exchange for the first title shot, a proposition that Jarrett declined. The tension between the two escalated on Dynamite: Maximum Carnage.
During the segment, MJF delved into personal attacks, touching upon Jeff Jarrett’s alcohol addiction and making derogatory comments about his wife. In retaliation, Jarrett brought up Friedman’s upbringing. However, the situation took a dark turn when MJF referenced the late Owen Hart, leading to a physical altercation where Jarrett struck him. Karen Jarrett intervened to separate her husband from MJF, only for Maxwell to use her as a shield before fleeing the scene.
The controversial segment sparked backlash from fans, who voiced their opinions on AEW’s social media platforms. The exchange between MJF and Jarrett was particularly contentious as they took shots at each other’s partners. MJF highlighted Karen Jarrett’s past marriage to Kurt Angle, while Jarrett commented on the activities of MJF’s girlfriend, Alicia Atout, backstage.
Tommy Dreamer, speaking on Busted Open After Dark, expressed his disapproval of the personal attacks on each other’s partners during the segment. He suggested that a different approach could have been taken to avoid crossing boundaries.
Despite the controversy, the feud between MJF and Jeff Jarrett seems far from over, leaving fans intrigued about a potential showdown in the ring in the near future. It remains to be seen how this rivalry will unfold and whether the personal animosity will translate into a heated physical confrontation.
Overall, the segment on Dynamite: Maximum Carnage has left fans divided and eager to see how the storyline between MJF and Jeff Jarrett progresses in the coming weeks.
