5 possible finishes for MJF vs. Brian Pillman Jr. at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam

#2. MJF defeats Brian Pillman Jr. clean at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam

AEW has done a good job of holding back on MJF's cheating in recent matches. Being the heel, one would expect him to use tactics like using the ropes for a pin attempt or grabbing his opponent's trunks, but the fact is, MJF defeated Chris Jericho cleanly on Dynamite.

Following a loss to Le Champion after a Dusty finish at All Out, getting a clean win over Brian Pillman Jr. would be the best course of action for the former MLW star. Cocky heels who can back their claims up with clean wind make for the most despicable and unbearable heels and at Grand Slam, MJF going over clean would be the best booking decision.

#1. Wardlow costs MJF at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam

Wardlow and MJF's slow burn in AEW has been quite evident for nearly two years now. The promotion is obviously holding back on a full-fledged babyface turn for the former, and that is 100% the right call.

During previous episodes of AEW programming, we have witnessed Wardlow take some time to consider if he should interject himself in the confrontations involving MJF and Brian Pillman Jr. While he does save the Pinnacle leader, it often happens after Pillman Jr. has laid a few blows on The Salt of the Earth's head.

At Grand Slam, Wardlow could attempt to help MJF, costing him instead and allowing Brian Pillman Jr. to pickup an upset win. It would hand the Pinnacle leader a second consecutive big loss causing him to berate Wardlow. The juggernaut's patience has been wearing thin, and that could be the time he snaps and breaks MJF in half.
