While it remains to be seen if Brian Pillman Jr. will indeed take part in the next Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, he has already sown the seeds of a feud with MJF.

On the Grand Slam episode of Dynamite in September last year, MJF defeated Pullman to end their dispute from the previous year. However, based on the World Champion's most recent remarks, it appears that their rivalry has not yet been settled.

The two stars engaged in a rather heated conversation on Twitter. resulting in an interesting back-and-forth. Fans were left in splits as they wondered if the two would face-off inside the squared circle.
