MJF Returns At AEW Grand Slam Mexico
MJF is back.
Andrade El Idolo scored a big win on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, as he pinned Komander to earn the #1 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW All In London. After celebrating his victory, El Idolo was attacked by a returning MJF.
After sending Andrade to the back, MJF grabbed a microphone and declared that he’s an American hero and the best professional wrestler in the world. Despite losing the title back in July, Friedman continued to tout his custom AEW World Championship, claiming that he is the one true champion in AEW.
Friedman ended his promo by announcing that he’ll be competing for the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match on the August 12 episode of Dynamite.
Just as @AndradeElIdolo was reveling in his win, @The_MJF returned to attack the AEW National Champion and take back the Dynamite Diamond Ring!
