"Fake news" - MJF slams AEW over recent Twitter post
MJF recently responded to the hype video for his upcoming promo segment on this week's AEW Dynamite posted on the company's official Twitter handle.
The Salt of the Earth cost his former Pinnacle stablemate Wardlow his TNT Championship match last Wednesday on Dynamite against Scorpio Sky. After the bout, MJF used his Dynamite Diamond Ring to lay down Mr. Mayhem, while Shawn Spears attacked him with multiple chair shots.
It's worth noting that the same ring also came into play at Revolution 2022, where Wardlow conveniently placed it for CM Punk, using which the latter defeated MJF.
The Pinnacle leader recently took to Twitter to claim that him costing Mr. Mayhem his TNT Championship match was blatant fake news. Instead, he claimed that it was Wardlow who screwed himself.
"More Fake news. Wardlow screwed Wardlow," wrote MJF.

More Fake news.

Considering MJF has been in top form in recent months, delivering several memorable promos during his heated feud with The Second City Saint, his segment from AEW Dynamite is easily the most awaited of the show.
MJF could set up his inevitable clash with Wardlow on AEW Dynamite
The storyline between MJF and Wardlow is another example of All Elite Wrestling's penchant for booking slow-burn and long-term feuds.
Mr. Mayhem's dissension was teased for several months before it finally materialized into him officially leaving The Pinnacle. Given just how much time the promotion has invested into this feud, it can be assumed that they won't book a match between the two performers any time before the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
So simple & so effective
We have Wardlow v Spears, 2 on 1, FTR, MJF paying for outside protection & Wardlow powerbombing his way through all of them to finally get his hands on MJF
By the time it happens Wardlow will be primed as one of the top babyfaces in the company https://t.co/gCorWBRJ0u
MJF's promo on AEW Dynamite could set up the highly-anticipated clash for the May pay-per-view, which the company could slowly build in the coming weeks.
Wardlow could also collide and possibly defeat Shawn Spears as part of the ongoing rivalry to build momentum ahead of the match with the Salt of the Earth. While the Pinnacle leader can use the numbers advantage and torment Wardlow week in, week out.
Do you think Wardlow would make his presence felt on this week's AEW Dynamite? Sound off in the comments section below.
