This new match announced was an AEW World Championship match of Samoa Joe vs. MJF (c).

This match was setup following an in-ring promo segment involving MJF, Ada, Cole, and Joe. After MJF talked about his victory over Jay White at Full Gear and Cole provided an announcement regarding his ankle injury recovery, Joe came out to interrupt.

MJF initially backed out of their deal only for Cole to persuade him to honor his agreement with Joe since he’s no longer the old evil MJF. MJF then agreed to the match and got into another heated exchange with Joe involving Joe promising to beat him down to a pulp in front of his family and friends at Worlds End.
