Title vs. hair challenge issued on AEW Dynamite
If MJF wants to get another AEW World title shot, he will have to put his hair on the line to do it.
The former champion will have a week to respond to current champion Darby Allin’s offer made on Wednesday’s Dynamite for a shot, assumed to be at this month’s Double or Nothing.
MJF came out after Allin successfully defended his title against Kevin Knight, offering to put up his scarf, then his Dynamite diamond ring, and then $1 million as a stipulation that Allin demanded he do.
Allin then said he instead wanted something MJF held most dear and something he would fly 17 hours to Turkey to get: his hair. He said MJF would have to put it up in order to get the shot to which visually frazzled MJF then left to think about after the one week ultimatum was thrown out.
Allin defeated MJF to win the title on the post-Dynasty edition of Dynamite, ending his second reign. He’s been looking for a rematch ever since. Allin already has two defenses set: PAC this Saturday and next Wednesday against Kazuchika Okada if he wins.
