AEW has officially announced MJF’s immediate future during the Forbidden Door 2026 event.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been the AEW World Champion three times in his career. He won it the third time at the Double or Nothing 2026 pay-per-view. In his current reign, MJF has defended his title only once against Rush a few weeks back on Dynamite.

At the Forbidden Door 2026 event, MJF teamed with the Don Callis Family to take on the team of The Conglomeration and Darby Allin in a 12-man steel cage match. It turned out to be an insanely chaotic encounter with a lot of amazing moments. The bout ended with Mark Briscoe picking up the win for The Conglomeration and Darby Allin.

After his victory in the 12-man steel cage match at Forbidden Door 2026, Mark Briscoe challenged MJF for an AEW World Championship match on Dynamite this Wednesday. The match was eventually made official moments later as well.

Max took notice of the announcement and reacted to it with the following statement on the X social media platform:

F*cking what?!?!?”

It will be interesting to see if Mark Briscoe could capture the AEW World title from Max this Wednesday on Dynamite.
