Former AEW World Champion MJF made a surprising appearance at another wrestling promotion, targeting his recent AEW on-screen rival. On June 26th, Major League Wrestling (MLW) hosted their Summer Beast event in New York City, where the CMLL star Mystico attempted to address the crowd but was interrupted by MLW’s Contra Unit. During the encounter, a masked attacker hit Mystico with a low blow, later revealing himself as MJF—who had recently lost to Mystico by disqualification at AEW Grand Slam Mexico on June 18th.
MJF declared his intention to continue punishing Mystico and promised to defeat him “within inches of his life.” Although it’s not yet confirmed when or where the rematch will happen, this marked MJF’s first appearance in MLW since 2020, where he has competed successfully alongside Alexander Hammerstone and Richard Holiday. Fans can expect updates as more information becomes available.
Fan Take: MJF’s crossover attack highlights his growing influence beyond AEW and sets the stage for exciting inter-promotional rivalries. This bold move not only intensifies his feud with Mystico but also broadens storytelling possibilities, keeping AEW fans eager for the next explosive chapter in wrestling drama.
