MJF’s Return and Worlds End Title Match Insertion
The most significant growth of the night was the return of MJF. During the contract signing for his Worlds End World Title match against Swerve Strickland, Hangman Page, and Samoa Joe, MJF used his Casino Gauntlet contract to insert himself into the match, turning it into a four-way bout. He also delivered scathing promos directed at all three of his opponents, further escalating the tension heading into Worlds end. AEW confirmed this on their website.
