Realistically, MJF is the person who each will and ought to be the following AEW Men’s World Champion, but we’ll put as the person who will dethrone Darby Allin since it just makes essentially the most sense, each within the ring and out of it.
Let’s take a look at the night MJF lost the title. He was three days faraway from wrestling Kenny Omega for nearly 40 minutes and was likely still feeling the results of that match. Truth be told, it’s his own fault for going dark on social media because if he hadn’t, he would have a minimum of known he was facing Darby on “AEW Dynamite.” That obviously got here back to haunt him as his old tricks didn’t work out for him, and just two minutes later, he was without his beloved “Triple B.”
That match was more of an angle that sets up an eventual rematch between the 2, which is able to likely be loads more competitive than what we saw on “Dynamite.” MJF won’t underestimate Darby like he has done up to now, he could have loads more time to arrange, and shall be more driven than ever to get his title back. MJF might even forgo the thought of beating Darby with a Headlock Takeover like he has done twice before since it’s gone past the purpose of Darby being beneath him. They’re on the identical level now whether MJF likes it or not, and he could have to take Darby seriously.
Knowing Darby shall be very energetic as well, he’ll greater than likely be as beaten up as Max was on “Dynamite,” which only goes to assist MJF after they eventually meet. Where will that match be? Greater than likely at Double or Nothing, not simply because it is a pay-per-view, but since it’s in Recent York City, and if Darby won the title from MJF in his home state of Washington, then it’s only right MJF wins it back in his home state as well.
As for every part outside of the ring, it’s no secret that AEW has momentum immediately. Rankings are up, attendance is up, interest in the corporate is up, and MJF is an enormous reason for that. He has done an important job at promoting AEW in interviews and on podcasts, to the purpose where, a minimum of from a heel perspective, he’s becoming the face of the corporate many individuals thought someone like Will Ospreay would develop into. Taking the title off MJF to start with gave the impression of an odd move for some people, and while it was nice to see Darby have his moment, MJF being the champion again, is because the old saying goes, best for business at this moment in time.
