MJF Suffers Minor Injury On AEW Dynamite

MJF was injured on Wednesday night's edition of Dynamite during his AEW World Title match against RUSH.

MJF was scheduled to face Bobby Orlando at Beyond Wrestling's Break The Walls Down on Friday, June 5 but the independent wrestling promotion has announced MJF suffered a hyperextended knee on Dynamite and the AEW World Champion is not cleared to compete.

"Unfortunately @The_MJF hyperextended his knee during his match last night & is not medically cleared to travel or compete. He will not be in Cranston tomorrow night but assured me he will wrestle for Beyond Wrestling as soon as his schedule allows. We wish him a speedy recovery," Beyond Wrestling wrote on X/Twitter.

MJF announced ahead of Break The Walls Down that it would likely be his final independent wrestling match in the United States for a long time, but his final indy date will now take place at a later time.

"I'm going to announce that this is probably the last American independent match I'm going to have for an extraordinarily long time. I need to focus on AEW. I took my eyes off the ball for a millisecond, and a dude who is like 145-f*cking-pounds soaking wet beat me. That can't happen. I don't care that he hit me in the nuts and spammed his finisher on me four times, and Aubrey Edwards, who is a complete liar, made a fast count. But glass half full, I'm now a three-time champion at the age of 30," Friedman told Justin Barrasso of Undisputed.

MJF successfully defended the AEW World Title against RUSH following a physical contest. MJF recorded the successful defence when he forced RUSH to pass out to an omoplata submission.

MJF became a three-time AEW World Champion when he defeated Darby Allin at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in their Title vs. Hair Match.
