A former world champion made his return on the latest edition of AEW Dynamite for the first time in five months. Tonight, he opened the show and had a lot to say, calling out several big names in the process. This would be MJF, who has not been seen since the Worlds End pay-per-view in December.

MJF began by talking about how some names on the roster have been making bold claims in his absence. He first fired shots at a certain Rainmaker, making fun of his lack of a physique. He then called out the current AEW World Champion, Swerve Strickland, making fun of how his own faction turned on him and even made some comments about his public speaking skills.
The Salt of the Earth then talked about Will Ospreay, the star who has arguably had the biggest momentum in AEW and has been calling himself the best in the world. MJF then claimed that he was still the greatest there, and he had the wrestling resume to show for it.

It's safe to say at this point that The Long Island native looks to remind people who he is, seeing as several stars have been trying to write him off from the top of the mountain. It remains to be seen who he goes after first.

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
