MJF Issues Challenge To Averno For CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship
Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF, sets his sights on the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title. To mentally and spiritually harm Mistico, MJF has challenged Averno to a future match for the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship. The challenge came during the July 16 episode of CMLL Informa.
MJF started his promo by wearing the mask that he took from Mistico at AEW Grand Slam: Mexico. He mentioned that he wants to take everything that Mistico holds dear. While no date was set for the future match, MJF is looking forward to putting the title belt around the waist of a true American hero.

MJF has not let promotional boundaries stop him from getting his hands on Mistico. He returned to MLW and attacked his rival at MLW Summer of the Beasts. That even led to a brief reunion with Alex Hammerstone. Mistico has also stated that he will not let promotional boundaries prevent him from getting his hands on “The Devil.” Fans can read those comments at this link.
Fightful will report when the match between MJF and Averno is made official.
