Shane McMahon to arrive, heartbreaking betrayal? - 3 potential twists AEW could pull off during MJF vs. Will Ospreay at All In

At AEW All In 2024, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) will put his American Championship on the line against Will Ospreay. The two young stars have been feuding for weeks, and have already battled each other once in a singles match. On the historic 250th episode of Dynamite, The Salt of the Earth overcame Ospreay in an hour-long match to become the International Champion.

Soon after his victory, MJF rebranded his newly won title into the AEW American Championship. Since then, the 28-year-old star has fully embraced a pro-American gimmick, prompting him to defend his title internationally as a true American hero. At All In 2024, MJF will look to continue his dominant reign by putting down Will Ospreay on his home turf.

Meanwhile, The Aerial Assassin would be eager to avenge his previous loss against MJF at Wembley Stadium. If The Commonwealth Kingpin brings back the Tiger Driver 91, the reigning AEW American Champion could find himself in serious trouble.

Interestingly, many outside forces could influence the outcome of the upcoming MJF vs. Will Ospreay match. Fans could witness some massive interferences during the AEW American Championship match at All In, which could heavily tilt the contest in favor of one star. In this article, let's look at three potential surprises that could take place during MJF's title defense against Will Ospreay.

#3 Kyle Fletcher betrays Will Ospreay, MJF retains

In recent weeks, Kyle Fletcher has become increasingly involved in Will Ospreay's feud with MJF. The Aussie Arrow has always stood up for his mentor-turned-friend, even though Ospreay is no longer a part of the Don Callis Family.

Fletcher recently locked horns with The Salt of the Earth on Dynamite. Despite a great showing against the former AEW World Champion, The Protostar could not get the job done and lost the match. After the bout, MJF busted open Kyle Fletcher's head with repeated blows to the head.

While Fletcher is seemingly still in Will Ospreay's corner, things could take a different turn at All In 2024. The Protostar could step out of Ospreay's shadow by stabbing him in the back at All In. Fletcher could launch a shocking attack on The Aerial Assassin in this match, costing him a shot at redemption on his home turf.

Don Callis could end up being revealed as the mastermind behind this attack. The wicked manager could manipulate The Aussie Arrow into betraying his mentor as revenge for Ospreay's departure from the Don Callis Family. Fletcher's heel turn could sow the seeds for his rivalry against The Aerial Assassin while allowing MJF to continue as a dominant champion.

#2 Daniel Garcia returns to cost MJF the title

In July 2024, Will Ospreay defended his International Championship against Daniel Garcia on Dynamite: Beach Break. While The Red Death delivered an amazing performance, he could not dethrone The Aerial Assassin in this match.

Following this encounter, Garcia was attacked by MJF, who showed no remorse while assaulting the 25-year-old star. It has been over a month since that beatdown, and Garcia has yet to make his return to the squared circle. Having only a limited time left on his current AEW deal, the former ROH Pure Champion is seemingly set to become a hot free agent very soon.

If Daniel Garcia decides to sign a new deal with the Tony Khan-led company, fans could see The Red Death making an appearance at All In 2024. The young star could shockingly interfere in the AEW American Championship match, which could lead to the end of MJF's month-long title reign.

The Red Death could launch a ruthless attack on The Salt of the Earth, making him pay for shedding his blood on Dynamite. The British audience would surely rejoice at the sight of Garcia destroying MJF, who has taken several shots at AEW fans in the UK.

#1 Shane McMahon makes his groundbreaking AEW debut

Shane McMahon's recent meeting with Tony Khan has got the wrestling world buzzing. While some individuals are against the idea of Shane-O-Mac joining All Elite Wrestling, others are excited at the prospect of The Prodigal Son being All Elite.

One of the personalities to comment on the situation was MJF, who is seemingly ready to trade blows with McMahon in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

As per the reigning AEW American Champion, Shane McMahon would be left embarrassed if he ever battles MJF or if the two engage in a promo battle. While he is open to having a match with the former WWE European Champion, MJF does not consider Shane-O-Mac a credible threat.

If Shane McMahon does have plans of joining All Elite Wrestling, a rivalry against The Salt of the Earth would be a perfect way for him to announce his arrival in the Tony Khan-led company. MJF's harsh comments might come back to haunt him in the future, as McMahon must have taken notice of what the 28-year-old star has to say.

The former WWE Hardcore Champion could create a jaw-dropping moment at All In by confronting The Wolf of Wrestling. The Prodigal Son could also land a blow on MJF, allowing Will Ospreay to capitalize on the distraction. Losing his prestigious title would leave MJF irate, causing him to fully shift his attention onto Shane McMahon.
