Former AEW World Champion MJF is set to enter the men’s casino gauntlet match as the second competitor at AEW’s Texas event this Saturday, aiming to reclaim his coveted "Triple B" title. The winner of this match is guaranteed a future AEW World Championship opportunity. However, MJF will face a tough challenge right from the start as he goes up against Mark Briscoe, who will be the first entrant. Speaking on "The Masked Man Show," MJF confidently predicted, "Mark Brisco is pinned before someone else’s music gets hit."
If MJF comes out on top, he has some intriguing predictions for Jon Moxley and Hangman Page’s actions later that night during the main event, where AEW’s biggest prizes are decided. He remarked, "If John the Dictator wins, I’m cutting him a check. I have nothing to prove to that guy. I already beat that Schmack at Full Gear in New Jersey in 2023. Whatever unfolds at the end of the night, one thing is for sure – I’m walking away with that casino gauntlet."
Earlier this year in March at Revolution, Page defeated MJF, but since then, the two have only encountered each other during a backstage segment. With his syndicate somewhat weakened, MJF plans to have the Texas Death match winner ready to support him once he’s out of the gauntlet.
Fan Take: This bold prediction adds an exciting layer of anticipation for AEW fans, highlighting MJF’s confidence and potential shifts in rivalries. The outcome of the casino gauntlet could significantly impact the AEW World Championship scene, setting the stage for intense confrontations and dramatic storylines ahead.
