Tonight at AEW All Out, in an unexpected turn of events, MJF and Samoa Joe went at each other.
As MJF was making his way backstage after his match, Samoa Joe arrived for his ROH World TV Championship defense against Shane Taylor. Joe gave a quick shove to the AEW World Champion with a smirk on his face, but the latter wasn't having it.
He went after the Samoan Submission Machine, and a fistfight began between the two in the middle of the ring. Joe locked The Salt of the Earth in a guillotine choke, and security needed to intervene to pull the two apart.
On Twitter, the Devil of AEW spoke out on Samoa Joe. He wrote he wasn't the kid he shoved in Brooklyn, a possible nod to the infamous segment they had seven years ago when Maxwell had a WWE cameo as security during Joe's entrance at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
"I’m not the kid you shoved in Brooklyn, motherf***er. Game on."

MJF has previously denied that he was the man who Joe shoved in NXT. He could either be doing the same now, claiming that he wasn't the same man. The Salt of the Earth is better now and could possibly take the fight to the ROH TV Champion.
