MJF made his return to All Elite Wrestling programming with authority on Wednesday night’s Grand Slam Mexico.

MJF left Andrade bloodied and fired off a poignant message to the rest of the AEW locker room. He and the Triple B AEW World Championship is the only “true” title and vowed to win the championship, currently held by Kenny Omega, when he enters and wins the casino gauntlet match.
“Next week we’re in Vegas and I’m feeling lucky. There is a gauntlet qualifying match for the casino gauntlet match at All In for the No. 2 spot. I am going to enter that match. I am going to win that match,” he declared. “I’m then going to go to Wembley where I am going to dog walk that perro Andrade again.
“I will win the contract again and do exactly what I did the last time.”
The winner of the casino gauntlet match earns a contract for a future AEW World Championship shot. MJF won the match at last year’s All In in Texas. He challenged Adam Page for the AEW title at Forbidden Door.
MJF wouldn’t win the title again until Worlds End in December. He lost it to Darby Allin but got it back at Double or Nothing earlier this year.
