MJF vs. Brody King World title match set for AEW Grand Slam Australia
After a shocking squash match, AEW World Champion MJF will defend against Brody King at this month’s Grand Slam Australia in Sydney.
King defeated MJF in a World title eliminator that headlined Wednesday’s Dynamite, one that King won in mere minutes thanks to a distraction assist from Hangman Page. King took advantage with his apron sleeper and after getting MJF back in the ring, he hit his gonzo bomb for the quick victory and the title shot.
Page and Andrade El Idolo will also square off on the card for the right to challenge the World Champion at March’s Revolution. Those two men, MJF and King were all part of the show’s final segment that saw King standing tall.
It will be the third title defense for MJF and the first appearance in the country for the champion. King is looking for his first AEW singles title in this, his first AEW World title shot.
