MJF's impact in Tony Khan's promotion is undeniable. With WWE showing a keen interest in securing his talents, his decision holds immense power to reshape the wrestling landscape. Maxwell's potential move to the Stamford-based promotion would undoubtedly be a game-changer.
Only time will tell whether he will stay will All Elite Wrestling or make a shocking move by going to global juggernaut.
AEW World Champion MJF's All In opponent confirmed
AEW All In's main event was confirmed on the latest edition of Dynamite. As MJF was addressing the crowd, he brought out his friend Adam Cole and shared a heartfelt moment. The Devil promised a World Championship match for Cole, regardless of their recent loss at Collision.
MJF then surprised everyone by challenging The Panama City Playboy to a match at the Wembley Stadium event, and they both signed the contract, sealing the deal for the main event.
Their last singles encounter in the World Championship Eliminator on the June 14 episode of Dynamite ended in a time-limit draw, leaving Cole empty-handed. With both stars signing the contract, the stage is set for an intense rematch at All In.
