As MJF is walking up the ramp, Bryan Danielson's music hits and he chases MJF out of the arena. It looks like we know who the next challenger for the AEW Championship will be.

MJF locks in an armbar but Starks manages to break free. He then pulls the referee in front of him and uses him as a shield to hit Starks with a low blow. Desperation move by MJF but he manages to get the 3-count. The dastardly champ's title reign continues.
