Last night on “AEW Dynamite,” MJF kicked things off by defeating Rush in a match that had fans on the edge of their seats, or at least mildly uncomfortable in their recliners. With Rush tasting defeat, MJF’s next opponent for the Forbidden Door event was revealed: the legendary Hechicero.
Post-show, MJF took to social media, giving Rush a backhanded compliment that only he could deliver. “@rushtoroblanco I hate your guts. But tonight, you earned my respect. Hechicero….see your ass in the most magical place in the world.”
Yes, folks, MJF called Long Island the most magical place in the world. Apparently, Disney World has some competition!
This highly anticipated bout will be MJF’s first pay-per-view match since his dramatic loss of the AEW World Championship to Samoa Joe at Worlds End, followed by an even more dramatic betrayal by his former BFF, Adam Cole. The drama, folks, it’s like a soap opera, but with more spandex and fewer evil twins.
In an unexpected twist last night, MJF and International Champion Will Ospreay found themselves in the ring together, playing the roles of unexpected heroes. They rushed in to save Daniel Garcia and Daddy Magic from an ambush by Hechicero and his dastardly crew, The Cage of Agony.
For those who don’t know, Hechicero is not just any wrestler. He’s been a CMLL star for over a decade, showing off his moves on AEW television, including the #1 Contendership Forbidden Door Casino Gauntlet and a showdown with Dalton Castle on “AEW Collision.” He’s also a former CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and an NWA World Historic Light Heavyweight Champion. Basically, he’s got more titles than MJF has Twitter feuds.
So, get ready, Long Island! The magical place where dreams come true (and wrestlers get body-slammed) will host a clash of titans. Who will come out on top? One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a night to remember, especially if you bring snacks.
