Current AEW World Champion MJF was back in motion this week on the June 3 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” where he successfully defended his beloved “Triple B” against Rush. Nevertheless, the “Salt of the Earth” didn’t come out of the match unscathed.
In the course of the match with Rush, MJF hyperextended his knee to the purpose where he has had to drag out of an upcoming match for Beyond Wrestling against Bobby Orlando, a match that MJF claimed can be his final independent appearance for a really very long time. Beyond Wrestling stated that MJF was not medically cleared to compete or travel, causing some fans to wonder the severity of his injury. Bryan Alvarez on the Wrestling Observer gave an update on X (formerly often called Twitter) where he said “MJF injury is legit but they’re hoping it isn’t serious.”
Beyond Wrestling also noted that MJF will make up for missing this weekend’s show in the long run when his schedule allows him to. MJF doesn’t have a match booked outside of the now postponed bout with Bobby Orlando, but when his injury is serious enough to the purpose where he could miss a lengthy period of motion, a lot of challengers will probably be wanting to step up and take his place.
Each Mark Briscoe and Andrade El Idolo declared their intentions to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship on this week’s “Dynamite,” with MJF outright refusing Briscoe’s challenge. Will Ospreay, Brody King, and Swerve Strickland are the one men left on this yr’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, meaning that one among them will challenge for the AEW World Championship at AEW All In London this August, whether they are going to meet MJF at Wembley Stadium is now up within the air. On top of all those names, Kenny Omega was also cheated out of the title back at AEW Dynasty, and he will definitely need to step up and be the world champion again if called upon.
