Before Cole could finish, the lights went out and when they came back on, a video played on the big screen showing the inside of someone’s home. This was revealed to be MJF’s home after a shot of a room with MJF pictured and memorabilia calling back to notable moments in his AEW career. MJF’s music played and he came out to the ring sporting a new denim jacket look and attire. Cole reached out for a hug which MJF responded back doing so but this turned out to be a swerve after MJF gave a swift kick to Cole’s family jewels right afterwards.

Adam Cole may be the devil, but it's time to face his demons in MJF!

MJF grabbed a microphone and proceeded to insult Cole and asked for someone to get that “shit stain” out of his ring. MJF then stated that he made the mistake of trusting Cole and this being a mistake he won’t make again. MJF stated that Cole didn’t take him out and instead Cole only woke him up to realize who he is. MJF stated that this being him being the best wrestler out there today because “he’s MJF, he’s better than you, and you know it.” MJF then turned his attention towards the AEW locker room stating that he didn’t need a New Japan or Vince McMahon to make him because “MJF made “MJF.” MJF stated that there won’t be any funny business now because he is back to being driven by what brings the best out of him, which he revealed to be hate. MJF stated that when he is driven by hate, nobody is safe.

MJF then grabbed the Devil’s mask and bashed it claiming that masks are adorned by cowards and he is done hiding. After some more words, MJF attacked the mask and tossed it into the crowd. MJF then turned his attention towards the “Great Bidding War of 2024” and told the cameraman to zoom in on his ankle, which he revealed to have a new tattoo with the words “Best on Yourself” and the AEW poker chip logo. MJF stated that he is the “Wolf of Wrestling and he is not “f**king leaving” in reference to him signing a new deal with AEW.

MJF is back AND HE'S GOING NOWHERE!
