Maxwell Jacob Friedman made an early appearance on tonight’s edition of AEW “Dynamite” and delivered a long, emotional pitch about what happened over “Double or Nothing” weekend.
First, he said that he was in a lot of agonies as a result of Wardlow’s brutal thrashing during the pay-per-view, but it wasn’t essential because the audience only wanted to hear him talk. Friedman then noted that major WarnerMedia Discovery officials were in the crowd tonight, giving his statements added weight.
He added that Khan has been requesting a meeting for quite some time, but it is now too late. He generates amazing moments in AEW week after week, but he still feels unappreciated. He’s convinced that no one else is dishing out the numbers he does online and, in the numbers, and he’s the one who makes fans watching feel something. MJF is expected to touch grand slams on a weekly basis, and he needs to be perfect since he’s the only one capable of carrying the firm.
He finds it amusing that the crowd is cheering him while they were branding him unprofessional and scrutinizing him from their phones the whole weekend. MJF informs the fans that they don’t know sh*t and that their opinions are as erratic as they’ve always been. He claims that the fans, like the man in the rear, take him for granted.
He wonders why Tony is hesitant to pay the man who has been working his soul all this time when he keeps all of the money for all of the “ex-WWE men who can’t lace up their boots.” MJF questions Tony if he would prefer him if he was an ex-WWE wrestler. MJF believes that Tony Khan should not have the authority to govern a wrestling company and should instead be a spectator. He doesn’t want to wait until 2024 to end his AEW contract; instead, he wants Tony to terminate him immediately.
Before the show goes to commercial, he yells into the cameraman that Tony Khan is a “f**king mark.” When the show returned after the break, the commentators lied about what transpired, and the AEW Twitter account avoided completely posting video from the part.
Fans in the building also noticed that CM Punk ran straight to the ring just after the episode, but MJF slid out of the ring and disappeared into the audience.
