Nixed WWE RAW plans due to AEW star MJF's controversial act disclosed - Reports
Recent reports suggest that WWE's plans for a segment on RAW were nixed due to the controversial actions of AEW World Champion MJF.
At Revolution 2023, Maxwell threw a drink at a child, which sparked some backlash from fans. The world champion successfully defended his title in a 60-minute Iron Man match against Bryan Danielson. At one point during the match, The Salt of The Earth entered the crowd to throw a drink at a kid in the crowd.
According to a recent report from Fightful Select, a planned segment on RAW in which a wrestler would throw a drink in another's face during a match. As news of the segment spread, some people backstage reportedly thought it was a shot at All Elite Wrestling or a reference to the incident.
However, it has since been confirmed that the planned RAW segment was already in the works before Revolution and that it was not intended as a reference to MJF or AEW. Much of the creative structure for RAW was already planned before the pay-per-view event even aired.

It seems like the kid MJF threw the drink on wasn't a plant. He was very upset. @WilliamRBR went and got him an Acclaimed foam finger. Some others from AEW talked to the child to help smooth things over. Amanda Huber is sitting with him now twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Several All Elite Wrestling officials also made an effort to calm the child.
MJF defeated Danielson in a blockbuster match which saw the contest get extended after the initial hour-long stipulation ended in a 3-3 tie. It remains to be seen who will challenge The Salt of The Earth next.
