Briscoe revealed that over the past few days, he has develop into a father to a brand new baby boy named Mack, who becomes the AEW star’s ninth child. Mack can also be the second Briscoe baby to be born within the space of just over a 12 months as Briscoe’s eighth baby was born in the summertime of 2024, who the AEW star nicknamed “Baby Jay” after his late brother Jay Briscoe, who passed away in a automotive accident in January 2023.
The previous ROH World Champion then got right down to business by passing Mack to someone off screen with a purpose to address MJF, who had threatened to set him on fire on the August 20 episode of “Dynamite.” Briscoe stated that he would light MJF up when he gets the prospect to travel to Philadelphia, but not before he relights one other fire under his long-standing feud with Kyle Fletcher. Briscoe would then challenge Fletcher to an AEW TNT Championship match before AEW’s residency in Philadelphia finishes.
Briscoe and Fletcher have wrestled one another 4 times over the past 12 months, with Briscoe winning the primary two meetings in June and December 2024 respectively, while Fletcher evened up the series by beating Briscoe on the February 8 edition of “AEW Collision,” and eliminating Briscoe from the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament on the Dynasty pay-per-view in April.
