MJF said that while he is happy for Allin and hopes he enjoyed his AEW World Championship run, he knows in his heart that this will be Allin’s last AEW World Championship run. MJF then says Allin is a stuntman and nothing is more important than his legacy. And MJF said Allin’s legacy will be a kid who got his 15 minutes of fame but never made any impact as AEW World Champion. MJF went on to say that fans know deep down that Allin just got lucky and was too reckless to stay on top. And MJF said his legacy will be a man who became AEW World Champion at the age of 30. MJF then says he will go down as the greatest of all time.
And Allyn says only vain people like MJF think the best thing in life is legacy. Allin then says he cares about the moment, not the legacy, and demands MJF sign a contract to make him a “bald son of a bitch” at Double or Nothing.
MJF then gives in and signs the contract, using a dynamite diamond ring to give Allin his right hand. MJF then hits Allin with a dynamite diamond ring, flattens him, grabs the AEW World Championship belt, and holds it over his head to make him taller.
