Fan Allegedly Tried to Attack MJF After Grand Slam Mexico – MJF has never been one to shy away from controversy, and his latest appearance at AEW Grand Slam Mexico has reportedly pushed fan outrage to new levels. According to Fightful Select, the AEW star was confronted by an angry fan at his hotel following Wednesday’s event at Arena México in Mexico City. The incident stemmed from his actions during the show, which saw him generate enormous heat for his heel antics.
Sources within AEW told Fightful that a fan “went after MJF at the hotel after the show.” Fortunately, MJF was not harmed. In true character, he reportedly laughed the situation off and was “proud of it,” taking the fan backlash as a sign of success in his villainous role.
The former AEW World Champion appeared at the show decked out in red, white, and blue gear and carried the American flag—an act that immediately drew strong reactions from the Mexican crowd. His actions escalated when he got himself disqualified in his match and then committed the ultimate insult in lucha libre tradition: he unmasked Mistico and mockingly wore the mask himself.
Unmasking a luchador, especially one as revered as Mistico, is considered one of the most disrespectful acts in Mexican wrestling culture. The segment was clearly designed to draw maximum heat, and it succeeded—both inside the arena and outside of it.
MJF has been building his new heel persona alongside The Hurt Syndicate, and his promos leading up to the match targeted Mistico directly with inflammatory comments. The angle appears to have struck a nerve with the local fanbase, leading to one fan reportedly taking things too far.
This incident highlights just how effective MJF has been in his role, blurring the lines between storyline and reality—something he has long been known for.
