On the latest episode of “AEW Dynamite” Wednesday, MJF cunningly convinced “Hangman” Adam Page to hand over an opportunity for the AEW World Championship without MJF having to use the privileges from his casino gauntlet match contract. However, MJF’s scheme spectacularly backfired, as he left “Dynamite” confirming a high-stakes world title match set to take place at Forbidden Door, featuring Cash-In Contracts and intense rivalries.
The show kicked off with a heated verbal exchange between MJF and Page, where MJF attempted to get inside Page’s head by rejecting the simple labels of “good” and “evil” and calling Page a fake champion. Embracing his villainous persona, MJF taunted Page, who calmly countered by challenging MJF to use his casino gauntlet match contract for a title shot. Accusing MJF of being too scared to use his contract boldly, Page suggested challengers hold onto it as a backup plan if they can’t claim the AEW World Championship outright. Frustrated, MJF finally verbally invoked his contract for a title shot against Page. As Page exited the ring, he left MJF with a final parting remark: “See you at Forbidden Door.”
With MJF and Page officially set to clash at Forbidden Door, AEW’s upcoming event in London promises to deliver unforgettable moments. Similarly, Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena is poised to challenge the “Timeless” Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship at the O2 Arena, thanks to her casino gauntlet match victory.
Fan Take: This storyline build-up amps the excitement for AEW’s Forbidden Door event, showcasing intense character dynamics and high stakes that AEW fans live for. The match promises not only thrilling action but could redefine championship narratives and elevate the sport’s drama to new heights.
