AEW World Champion MJF is set to defend his title at the upcoming Revolution event, with the No. 1 contender match now finalized. The next challenger will be decided at Grand Slam Australia, where Hangman Page will go head-to-head with Andrade El Idro. In a recent interview with Compas on the Beat, MJF revealed his preference for Hangman Page to win the contender spot, despite expressing strong disdain for him.
MJF explained, “I want Hangman to win because, technically, I despise him. He let me win by fluke, and I need him to earn it back.” He also harshly criticized Hangman, calling him “a piece of crap, a nobody, a coward, a gun, a loser, a white knight kind of trash,” and made it clear that he wants to eliminate him from the competition. Regarding Andrade, MJF said, “I don’t like Andrade either, but if you put a gun to my head and ask who I want, it’s Hangman. I have a problem with Hangman—I don’t care about that kid.”
MJF will take on Brody King for the AEW World Title at Grand Slam Australia, an event happening on February 14th at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. For all the latest updates and news in AEW, fans are encouraged to stay tuned.
Fan Take: This upcoming contender match is crucial for AEW fans as it highlights the intense rivalries and storytelling that keep the championship scene compelling. MJF’s disdain for Hangman Page adds an extra layer of drama, promising an electrifying title defense that could influence AEW’s future narratives and fan engagement.
