MJF Trashes International Title & Debuts American Championship on 7/24 AEW Dynamite

MJF made his highly anticipated return to AEW at Double or Nothing 2024, initially donning a denim jacket that drew numerous comparisons to Triple H. However, he has since reverted to his signature Burberry scarf. Following his significant victory over Will Ospreay during the July 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF was in rare form.

The match between Ospreay and MJF nearly lasted an hour, with MJF securing the win in the final seconds. During the July 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF officially began his reign as champion. He kicked off the show with a group of literal cheerleaders, then entered the ring, drawing fans’ attention to another title hidden under fabric on a stool while he wore the International Title.

As the Nashville fans chanted, “Shut The F*ck Up,” MJF responded with disdain. He falsely claimed he defeated Ospreay quickly and credited pro wrestling journalists for praising his performance. He then told Ospreay to “take a long walk off a short pier,” adding a harsh remark about Ospreay’s recently deceased grandmother. MJF suggested Ospreay dig a grave next to his grandmother’s, but “about a football field’s length away,” calling her a “skank” who needed the space.

MJF then addressed the AEW International Championship, noting that fans loved it because it was carried by hardworking men. He dismissed the idea of working hard, saying, “is for poors like you.” Unwilling to hold a title previously held by many international talents, MJF unveiled a new American Championship design, throwing the International Title into the garbage.

This bold move marked the start of his reign as champion. Will Ospreay didn’t let MJF’s all-American celebration last long, because he ran out to chase the Salt of the Earth off. It was then announced that Ospreay will challenge MJF for the American Championship at All In.

Fans will be watching closely to see how MJF’s reign unfolds in the coming weeks, and we will have all the updates at Ringside News.
