MJF World title defense part of next week’s AEW Dynamite lineup
AEW World Champion MJF will defend the title for the first time in his third reign on next week’s AEW Dynamite.
He will put the title up against Rush who called his shot after picking up a win in a four-way Wednesday for his sixth straight victory. He did so just after MJF turned down old foe Mark Briscoe who came out to interrupt the champion’s celebration.
It will be their second-ever singles meeting with the last coming in June 2024 that MJF won in his first match back from injury.
The show from Richmond, Virginia, will also feature a women’s quarterfinal match in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament as Alex Windsor takes on a wild card entrant, filling the spot relinquished by the injured Willow Nightingale.
