MJF’s Return to Dynamite Announced

At All Out on Sunday, Maxwell Jacob Friedman shocked the world and won the Casino Ladder Match. The lights went black, Stokely Hathaway’s group came out including W Morrisey, Stokely grabbed the number one contender poker chip, Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones hit the arena and a man dressed like the devil came out to retrieve the chip. That man would be revealed as MJF by the evening’s end. CM Punk beat Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title, a video package played and out came the devil himself, MJF.

His return to Dynamite has been announced and it’ll happen this Wednesday, live from Buffalo. My home away from home but I won’t be there to boo MJF. I’m looking forward to seeing what jab he comes up with against my Bills. That’s not what everyone else is looking forward to seeing though. We’re looking to see if he’ll address what happened at the All Out media scrum. Friedman was mentioned by Punk during his talk with the media. Punk called him talented but said that he has a lot to learn.

MJF appears to be back full time and he is the new #1 contender for the AEW World Title after winning that Casino Ladder Match. Which means a match down the line with Punk. There’s speculation that it’ll happen at the Arthur Ashe Stadium show in a few weeks. MJF and Punk should start the build on there and it would be excellent television if they talked about Punk’s comments in the scrum. MJF could go on about how Punk’s been hated in this locker room since he came in. He’s the reason Cody Rhodes left and the reason so many others will as well. That would be real and it would continue the growing conflict between AEW’s biggest star in CM Punk and it’s franchise player in MJF.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
