AEW Dynamite: MJF Provides Update Regarding Recent Twitter Posts

On this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Maxwell Jacob Friedman appeared in a pre-taped segment from his home to explain the recent posts on his official Twitter page, many of which stated that he was injured and might need to undergo surgery.

In the video, MJF, with his arm in a sling, stated that he suffered a hangnail, which occurred during his last appearance on Dynamite and also happened while he was gambling during the matches, essentially confirming that his Twitter posts are a work and that MJF is not legitimately injured. 

MJF also stated that the “injury” started off minor but eventually became “life-threatening” due to his “inability to quit” gambling during the night.

MJF further stated that he will fight through the “injury” to become AEW World Champion.
