One of the best-built matches heading into the AEW Dynamite Grand Slam is MJF vs. Brian Pillman Jr. The grudge match started after Maxwell Jacob Friedman made disparaging remarks about Pillman Jr's hometown of Cincinnati and his family. A fired-up Pillman didn't take this disrespect lightly, but he and his Varsity Blonds partner Griff Garrison were assaulted by MJF and Wardlow.
The two men have traded barbs back and forth since then, with MJF even making despicable comments about Brian's late father. This set the stage for a showdown where Brian Pillman Jr. has so much to gain with a victory. Meanwhile, MJF will be looking to regain his momentum after a crushing loss to Chris Jericho at All Out 2021.

The Pinnacle leader is the bigger star here, but that's exactly why a win is so important for Pillman Jr. Most fans are expecting MJF to win at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, so a loss would be devastating for the dastardly heel. The second-generation star has mostly been a tag team competitor, so this win would definitely catapult him up the ranks.
