MJF suffers fractured elbow, recovery time 4-6 weeks
MLW Middleweight Champion and CZW World Heavyweight Champion MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman) revealed yesterday that he suffered a fractured elbow and the recovery time is 4-6 weeks.
MJF wrote in an in-character tweet: “I’ve fractured my elbow. Recovery time 4-6 weeks. The good news is I get a break from having to make eye contact with you poor fat slobs.” He faced Sami Callihan for AAW on Saturday.
MJF defending his Middleweight title in a four-way ladder match against Kotto Brazil, Jason Cade, and another wrestler that has yet to be revealed had been announced for MLW’s television tapings in Miami, Florida on December 14. MLW noted that how the injury will impact MJF’s upcoming scheduled title defenses “remains unclear.”
Marko Stunt was originally announced as the fourth participant in the ladder match before suffering a broken leg at Joey Janela’s LA Confidential earlier this month.
PWInsider reported that CZW will announce later today that MJF will be stripped of the CZW World Heavyweight title. He had been scheduled to defend the championship against Rickey Shane Page inside Cage of Death at Cage of Death XX in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 9.
