MJF to defend AEW World title against Zilla Fatu at HOG No Turning Back
The AEW World Championship will be on the line when MJF wrestles at House of Glory’s No Turning Back event this week.
Last month, it was revealed that MJF would be appearing on the event, set for Friday, February 20, at the Amazura Concert Hall in Jamaica, New York. The venue is less than an hour from MJF’s hometown of Plainview.
House of Glory announced on Sunday that MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against HOG Crown Jewel Champion Zilla Fatu in what is being billed as a champion versus champion match, with only MJF’s title on the line.

“This Friday night, history will be made at HOG No Turning Back when MJF defends the AEW World Championship against Zilla Fatu, the reigning HOG Crown Jewel Championship holder, in what is already being called one of the most monumental matches in House of Glory history.”
Also scheduled for the show, Charles Mason will defend the HOG Heavyweight Championship against Andrade El Idolo.
This will be the second time MJF has defended the AEW World Championship outside of AEW during his current reign. Last month, he defended it against Alec Price at the Limitless Rumble in Lewiston, Maine. MJF has now defended the championship three times since winning it at World’s End, defeating Bandido, Price, and most recently Brody King at Grand Slam Australia.
MJF cut a promo on Fatu to promote the match against Fatu:
