MJF pulled from indie date due to ‘unforeseen scheduling conflict’
AEW World Champion MJF won’t be able to make his previously scheduled appearance for Mystery Wrestling in Canada next month.
The Evil Uno-owned indie promotion announced today that, due to an “unforeseen scheduling conflict,” MJF is off their March 26 show in Edmonton. No other details on the scheduling conflict were provided. Mystery Wrestling apologized for the inconvenience and noted that any fans who want a refund on their tickets can do so through the original point of purchase.

In a video addressing the news, Evil Uno said it sucks to have this happen, but it’s just the nature of the business. Uno is upset about not being able to give fans what was promised and will be using the next couple of weeks to sort out a suitable replacement. He did reveal that Taka Michinoku, who was originally intended to be a surprise, will be competing at the event. It’s Michinoku’s first time wrestling in Canada in over 25 years.
Mystery Wrestling is a concept where most of the competitors are not announced in advance, and Evil Uno said cancellations like this are one of the reasons he prefers to handle things that way. When fans don’t know what to expect, they can’t be disappointed when someone has to miss the show.
MJF has been making some indie appearances during his AEW World Championship reign as he attempts to prove himself as a traveling World Champion. He has a busy schedule while balancing his wrestling and acting careers.
At AEW Revolution in Los Angeles on March 15, MJF is defending his title against Hangman Page in a Texas Death Match. The match has a stipulation where Page won’t be able to challenge for the championship again if he loses.
