MJF promo on AEW Dynamite
.@The_MJF is BACK, and he has a few words to say. #AEWDynamite is LIVE on @TBSNetwork! https://t.co/8EFQEdiboi
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) came out to a thunderous ovation from the crowd in attendance. He tried to get a cheap pop by praising Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Friedman stated that he said some offensive stuff the last time fans saw him. He claimed that he didn't mean it and was just kidding. MJF then continued that he loves All Elite Wrestling and started a "AEW, AEW" chant. The Salt of the Earth then claimed that he is nothing without fans.
Friedman then focused his attention towards the upcoming tournament to crown the new AEW World Champion. He said that one guy deserves to be the champion, but he is going to work smart and not hard. MJF then brought up the fact that he is the winner of the Casino Ladder match at All Out. Friedman also mentioned that Tony Khan is paying him a lot of money.
He continued by saying that he was the perfect man to lead AEW out of the current dark times. MJF then stated that is better than Moses. Jon Moxley came out to confront MJF at this point in the show.

As soon as Moxley said that MJF is "full of cr*p," the latter showed his true colors and started bashing the fans. He then brought up the fact that The Purveyor of Violence went to sleep at All Out and claimed that he would take the world championship to another company with real wrestlers like Cody Rhodes.
He then said that he gets to work for Nick Khan, and then quoted his "personal hero" The Game's best for the business line. Moxley was fed up with MJF, and made him run away from the ring.
"Maybe I'll take that title to a REAL wrestling company." @The_MJF starting to show his true colors again and @JonMoxley is not impressed. It’s #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS! https://t.co/kAflSk7Pux
