MJF makes bold prediction for blockbuster title match on AEW Dynamite

AEW World Champion MJF has once again drawn eyeballs online, this time by making a bold prediction for a massive title match on upcoming Dynamite.

MJF is back on top in AEW after winning back the World Championship at Double or Nothing 2026. The Salt of the Earth became a 3-time Champion at the pay-per-view by reclaiming the title he lost to Darby Allin at Dynamite: Spring BreakThru in April. On Dynamite+Collision last Wednesday, MJF held a title celebration that was first interrupted by Mark Briscoe, then by LFI star Rush. As things played out, Friedman accepted the latter’s challenge, set for next week’s edition of the Flagship show. Now, ahead of the bout, Friedman has made a bold prediction for his championship defense.

Taking to X, Maxwell once again took shots at Rush for being a fake tough guy before declaring that their match on Dynamite will last 25 seconds at best.

“I wake up every morning trying to process how disrespectful @rushtoroblanco is for even THINKING he’s a tough guy. I grew up in the mean streets of Long Island, Pal! This match will last 25 seconds tops,” MJF wrote.

MJF on what will happen if he leaves AEW

Time and again, MJF has declared that AEW is his company and that he loves being part of the setup. However, the arrogant star has always maintained that it’s his star power that puts Tony Khan’s promotion on the pedestal it currently enjoys. Friedman’s arrogance was on full display during his recent Q&A with the Hollywood Reporter, where he outright said that All Elite Wrestling will d*e if he leaves the promotion.

“It d*es. It d*es probably a fast — not even a slow and painful death. And that’s OK, you know. I love AEW, I love everybody that works there, but, like I said, I can’t be in the position I’m in without having the pass the ball, but if they couldn’t pass the ball back to me? Jesus Christ. God bless ’em. I’m the most-important piece of the puzzle,” said MJF [H/T: hollywoodreporter.com.]

It will be interesting to see whether MJF will eventually leave the Jacksonville-based promotion for a move to WWE or a full-time Hollywood career.
