SPOILER: Big Return Shakes AEW Dynamite Tapings Ahead of Worlds End – MJF has officially returned to AEW television, making a dramatic comeback during the Holiday Bash special and immediately altering the main event picture for Worlds End.
The former AEW World Champion interrupted an in-ring contract signing involving Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page, revealing that he was cashing in his Casino Gauntlet contract. With that move, MJF added himself to the match, turning the AEW World Championship bout into a four-way showdown.
During his promo, MJF addressed his lengthy absence and made it clear that his return was driven by unfinished business. He pushed back against Hangman Page’s past claims that he was avoiding competition, stating that his decision to reappear at such a critical moment proved otherwise. MJF framed his return as calculated rather than hesitant, emphasizing that timing, not fear, dictated his actions.
He also reignited his rivalry with Samoa Joe, referencing the loss that still fuels his anger. MJF reminded viewers that Joe defeated him for the AEW World Championship two years ago, a moment he clearly has not forgotten. The tension between the two was immediately apparent, with MJF making it known that reclaiming the title remains his primary goal.
MJF did not spare Swerve Strickland either. During the segment, he mocked Strickland with a controversial comparison, continuing his pattern of deliberately inflammatory remarks. He also referenced his own history with WWE, using it to contrast his self-described value and star power within AEW.
Closing out the segment, MJF delivered a familiar warning to his rivals, stating that “rent is due,” signaling his intention to once again sit at the top of the company. The message was clear that he believes the AEW World Championship still belongs to him.
This appearance marked MJF’s first time on AEW television since All Out 2025, where he was defeated by Mark Briscoe in a brutal Tables N Tacks match. His return instantly adds another layer of unpredictability to Worlds End, which takes place on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. With MJF back in the mix, the stakes for the AEW World Championship have risen significantly.
