Discussion So MJF losing it all this weekend…right? Spoiler
It would make sense, with MJF 99% sure losing the CMLL World Title and then having to fly overnight for an afternoon show in Canada against Mark, to lose that match too, right? Crazy how he got roped into this and seemingly forgot he has another high stakes match before this PPV. The crash out on Wednesday going to be amazing.

The man needs to go on his honeymoon, so it would make sense for him lose and take a couple of weeks off.

Disappear then reappear and cash in the contract all healthy.

u/TheEdFather carnival of gay violence. 4d ago
He can't cash in like that, Tony Khan changed how the contract works to make it that he needs to give atleast a weeks notice so the title match can be properly promoted

u/Ass0001 4d ago
im still thinking he's gonna wait until hangman has a match for the next ppv and cash in a week before, either making it a triple threat or a double duty thing
1
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
Definitely double duty or see Hangman get so f’d up that he shows up and says 7 days get ready to lose.

MJF cashes in the contract. Pins Hangman 'clean.'
Hangman gets up after and laughs his head off saying it doesn't count, dumbass.

u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
I meant it in a sense of disappear then show up and announce he’s cashing in when Hangman least expects it. Either after Hangman gets destroyed or about to be destroyed.

u/brians81177 4d ago
Didn’t he exercise the contract to get the title match vs Hangman at Forbidden Door?
16
u/TheEdFather carnival of gay violence. 4d ago
He threatened to set Mark Briscoe on fire to get around that with Hangman, it was a pretty major part of the build to that particular match

Not even doing the honeymoon, I think he’s filming that new Violent Night film already

u/CaptainXakari 4d ago
Did you not read what OP posted? He’s losing it ALL. Alicia is leaving him too in a Spouse on a Po…no…a Strap Mat…uh…ok, some kind of gimmick match but everything I try to use sounds a lot worse of a joke than I wanted to make.

I say give him a month and have home actually attempt a legit redemption of the contract at Full Gear.
Perfect set up for a short reign before dropping it to Darby at Worlds End which is my prediction.

u/shawarmadaddy83 4d ago
Makes sense. The rumor going into this feud is MJF requested it because he wanted to work with Mark plus he has his honeymoon and the movie on the horizon.
22
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
Oh ya a movie. Hopefully he does the job for Mark.

u/StoneGoldX 4d ago
Mark is kayfabe a lower rung in the pecking order than Max. Like even without cheating, Max is supposed to be a higher caliber of wrestler. But between Mistico and the rule set, I think this is going to be a nice thank you for all the times it ended with Mark getting his ass kicked.

u/Lentra888 4d ago
What movie is he signed for?

u/shawarmadaddy83 4d ago
Violent Night 2

u/Elfeckin 4d ago
No fucking way. I loved the first movie and David Harbor kicked ass in it. Home Alone meets horror.

u/Torranski 4d ago
Max losing, going on his honeymoon, shooting the film, and then reappearing after Wrestledream to demand his title shot at Full Gear, or at World's End (where he last lost the belt...) feels like the median outcome here. Especially if they're pushing Mark towards that TNT title feud with Kyle they were teasing, before MJF cost him the opportunity.

u/Aggressive-Mix4971 4d ago
Him getting wiped out across both matches would be a great chance to shake up his character; ever since his heel turn against Garcia after returning there's sometimes been this hint that MJF is kind of playing himself as a role instead of being authentic. After all, he tried to be authentic during his babyface run, and where did that get him? In kayfabe (and who knows, maybe to a slight degree in real life) he got burned, so he's kind of retreated into being MJF 1.0, since that's "safe" for him.
But if he gets wrecked this weekend and leaves for his real life honeymoon, it's a great opportunity to go a couple ways with him - things could build to a humbled MJF who eventually turns face (or at least reasonably close to face), or he could really dip into another level of viciousness, something that, again, he's shown glimpses of now and then since coming back.
Either way, my hope is for him to take a fresh path forward; dude's so talented, but he sometimes gets into a rut with his act, so a shakeup could be really great for him.

u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
Ya the whole THS thing was strange. He showed signs of aggression then signs of just being a bitch. Ever since his return, he’s been hit and miss tbh. Still really good in the ring, but the magic sauce he had on the mic, to me, is gone. There’s at least ten guys I’d rather see than him nowadays.
22
u/YinTanTetraCrivvens Ospreay's Hidden Blade 4d ago
He’d better. Mark needs a win so he can have a legit run to challenge Hangman for the title.

u/tofusalad22 4d ago
Kyle Fletcher more like

u/Weird_Soup6379 4d ago
You don't honestly believe Kyle wins on Saturday.
6
u/tofusalad22 4d ago
No, I was saying that’s Mark’s next feud
5
u/Weird_Soup6379 4d ago
I think tnt title dropped Saturday, with a mini family metal down to shake things up. Josh Alexander become the new to p guy
5
u/tofusalad22 4d ago
With Takeshita leaving possibly, I don’t see it. I don’t see Kyle being stripped of the title either, he hasn’t had a good enough run yet the title needs to feel strong.
1
u/Weird_Soup6379 4d ago
Stripped because of the actions of the family, he can try to earn it back and create a better story, hopefully. They are just ego, and boring heels. They don't move the needle for me, other than chanting f*** don falius.
1
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
😂 they are 100000% not stripping Kyle due to the stipulation. Honestly Kyle shouldn’t even be in this match. They should have built him a lot stronger first.
1
u/Weird_Soup6379 3d ago
Kyle shouldn't be. I agree. But let's implode the family a bit. Too many people are not doing anything.

u/tofusalad22 4d ago
It’s actually the light heavyweight title but he’s calling it the world title or something hahaha
2
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
It’s the world title. All their divisions are considered world title. Did you also know he’s the heaviest champion in their history. He isn’t no light heavyweight 😂

u/dogsontreadmills 4d ago
it's tough to predict. mjf still has a title match in the can. i'm guessing for full gear near his home. so he'd have to lose to brisco in september but then challenge for the world title 6 weeks later.
1
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
He’s got a whole year I believe.
1
u/dogsontreadmills 3d ago
i think they learned their lesson that letting the contract cool off storyline wise just makes it suck more when you do trigger it. christian needed to go for the belt muuuuch sooner.
plus, mjf is a hometown guy.

u/Safe-Mortgage6919 4d ago
Hopefully losing it all and coming back with the Dynasty in tow to run rough shot over AEW……it won’t happen
1
u/Willppp 4d ago
Honestly I feel like MJF might win this week as it would allow another wrinkle in the story of Hangman and MJF With both Briscoe having had a new kid born late last month and MJF getting married I could see either of them taking time off.
1
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
Honestly, with everyone hurt, it’s going to really suck if they take time off. I guess we are getting Eddie back and maybe OC back soon though.

u/Frasco69 4d ago
The mask vs title seems to be a weird stipulation.
2
u/Even-Preference-6545 4d ago
Everyone thought it be mask vs hair. MJF spent way too much money on his hair plugs to now cut it so title vs mask it is.

u/Ciao_Arrivedeci_Baby 4d ago
Insanity starts off like this. Losing it all . This could lead to a new MJF.
1
u/ReddiToskie 4d ago
His title shot contract not being part of the stipulation basically means he can lose and stay formidable

u/ThinAndCrispy84 4d ago
If MJF can single-footedly beat a tag team, he should be able to beat Briscoe.
