AEW World Champion MJF will face Brody King on next week’s AEW Dynamite in an eliminator match with big implications for next month’s Grand Slam Australia.
Made during Wednesday’s Dynamite, a King victory in Las Vegas will give him a title shot against MJF in Sydney, Australia, for the second-ever Grand Slam show in the country.
Since MJF retained the title over Bandido earlier this month, King has put MJF in his crosshairs and called for a match last week which MJF quickly shut down. The champion spoke on Wednesday and was quickly interrupted by King who eventually revealed he and Tony Khan’s conversation about the match.
It will be the first singles match between the two in AEW and their first since a 2018 bout in MLW. They have shared the ring a few times in AEW, most notably in a four-way at last July’s 300th episode of Dynamite.
Next Wednesday will also feature the return of the Young Bucks to in-ring action against opponents to be named.
