During tonight’s show, Bullet Club Gold’s Juice Robinson and The Gunns called out MJF over their claims of him being responsible for the attack on White last week. MJF came out and after some back-and-forth insults banter, MJF went to the ring to confront BCG. This led to BCG getting out of the ring and laid a trap that resulted in White suddenly showing up and attacking MJF from behind with a Bladerunner. Following a barrage of insults by White claiming that MJF is not elite enough to wear the title, he issued a challenge to MJF for his AEW World title at next month’s Full Gear 2023 event. After recovering from the attack, MJF angrily responded accepting White’s challenge.
