6/5 AEW Dynamite Results – We are live from the Blue Arena in Loveland, CO, as MJF makes his way to the ring to start the show.
MJF settles inside the ring and says, “Cut my music, cut my music.” The fans chant “He’s our scumbag!”
MJF talks into the camera and says if his eyes look bloodshot and red, maybe we didn’t get the memo, but MJF is in Colorado tonight, baby! He talks about a ton of people making bold claims on his show while he was out of action. He brings up Kazuchika Okada calling himself “The Rainmaker.” He says he’s making a lot of money but based on his body, he doesn’t seem to have a gym membership.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman talks about a supposed leader “swerving” around and referring to himself as a “business mogul.” He says the last time he checked, business moguls go to business school. “And if ya did, I guess you skipped your public speaking course.” He brings up Will Ospreay saying “Oy, I’m the best in the world, bruv!” The fans chant “Bruv! Bruv!” and MJF quips, “…it’s a great word.”
Friedman tells Ospreay the last he checked he ain’t Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and many others. He says but do you know who beat everyone on that list? MJF. He says the next time you come on his show and lie with his British, disgusting teeth, “Watch your mouth, because Silly Billy, you ain’t the best in the world, bruv … I AM!”
He talks about creating matches and moments that will stand the test of time, and went from the most hated to the most loved. He talks about revisionists trying to rewrite history and change his legacy. As he continues to talk, he is cut off by the theme of RUSH.
He yells at MJF that he’s back and has a big moment. “Where’s my big moment?!” he yells angrily. He tells MJF “when you mess with the bull, you get the horns!”
MJF tells RUSH he didn’t get most of that. He asks if the crowd heard RUSH. He says when the mark Tony Khan was running this place it was bad enough, but now that The Elite are taking over, it’s even worse. He tells RUSH his suit is dry, “like every woman you’ve ever slept with.” He says he’s not gonna stand here and pretend like he doesn’t know him. He brings up paying him in the past to take out Bryan Danielson.
Friedman says RUSH’s dad was a legend and some people might call him a nepotism baby because of that. “But not me! Not me!” Fans begin chanting “Nepo-baby! Nepo-baby!” Friedman quips back, “Don’t do that, don’t do that,” with a smile on his face. He tells RUSH he’s one of the best, but MJF isn’t one of the best — he’s the best. He tells MJF he wants to let him know how he feels about RUSH cutting him off and interrupting him.
He says something insulting in Spanish and closes with, “And I’m MJF, and I’m better than you…” before he can tell RUSH, “And you know it,” he is met with an attack by RUSH, which he immediately answers back with one of his own. The two have an incredibly wild brawl that dozens of officials and security try and break up. They do briefly, but then they re-collide and the whole pile of bodies falls down as the brawl reignites.
RUSH is led out of the ring. MJF is leaning through the ropes yelling at RUSH as Christopher Daniels tells him off-mic to calm down. After this wraps up, Excalibur sets up a video package hyping tonight’s main event, which features The Undisputed Kingdom’s Roderick Strong challenging Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship.
