MJF Makes Bandido Pass Out To Retain AEW World Title At AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage
MJF survives Bandido.
AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage was headlined by a huge title match, as MJF defended the AEW World Championship against Bandido. This was MJF’s first title defense since winning the belt at the Worlds End pay-per-view in December. The ‘Most Wanted’ walked into the match with a ton of momentum as well, riding a four match singles winning streak that started back in October.
In the end, MJF was able to retain his title without even cheating. The finishing sequence saw Bandido nail MJF with the 21 Plex before failing the bridging pin attempt. Bandido eventually attempted the cover, but MJF was able to kick out. The 29-year-old immediately turned the failed pin into his Salt Of The Earth submission, which eventually was transitioned into a LeBell Lock. Bandido passed out in the hold, awarding the victory to the champion.
