MJF Reacts To Kendo Stick Shot From Brodie Lee Jr., Tony Khan Addresses Crowd

As seen on last night’s AEW Dynamite episode, MJF was struck with a kendo stuck by Brodie Lee Jr. [aka -1] toward the closing stages of the six-man tag team match between The Inner Circle and Dark Order [Alex Reynolds & John Silver] & Adam Page.

After placing Ortiz’s legs on the ropes to stop a three-count, MJF walked over to -1 and removed his mask and rejoiced over his actions. When he turned around, he was hit on the head with a kendo stick. With MJF taken out, Silver hit Ortiz with Lee’s patented discus forearm for the victory.

MJF took to Twitter to react to the kendo stick shot. He jokingly wrote, “F-ck that kid“, after The Inner Circle lost their match.

As noted, the match also saw the AEW debut of Erick Redbeard [fka Erick Rowan], who prevented Wardlow from interfering on behalf of The Inner Circle. Chris Jericho on commentary initially said, “It’s Erick Rowan!” before Schiavone corrected him to say it was Erick Redbeard. Big Red would then hit Wardlow with the Iron Claw Chokeslam, and chase MJF’s muscle to the back.

Speaking of last night’s Dynamite, A fan who was in attendance at Daily’s Place shared a clip on social media of AEW President Tony Khan addressing the crowd before the start of the show.

Khan said, “It’s an honor for all of us that you’re gonna be here tonight. I think it’s going to be the most special night ever in AEW, the most special thing we’ve ever done for a very special person, who deserves it — the late, great Mr. Brodie Lee.”

He continued, “Thank you for coming. You’ve been amazing. I request you guys to please not swear, please no F words. Other than that, you guys have a great show. Thanks for being here.”

Jim Ross noted that the Brodie Lee tribute show had the biggest crowd for any AEW show at Daily’s Place since the start of the pandemic. Previously, the highest number was roughly 1,000 fans out of the 5,000-seater at Jacksonville, FL.
