Brandon Cutler vs MJF
Brandon Cutler made his singles debut in AEW next as he faced the "salt of the earth" MJF. MJF tore into Cutler in his pre-match promo, calling him a loser and someone who didn't belong in the ring.
MJF toyed with Cutler early on but Cutler soon slapped him across the face before rolling MJF up for a nearfall. MJF went to work on Cutler's shoulder right away, throwing him shoulder-first into the ring post.
Cutler tossed MJF out of the ring at this point and followed it up with a suicide dive through the ropes. Cutler continued unloading on MJF before dragging him back inside the ring. Cutler headed to the top rope but ended up slipping.
MJF took full advantage of this and struck Cutler across the face with a forearm. He then took Cutler down and wrenched his arm, forcing him to tapout and submit. Even after Cutler had tapped out, MJF rubbed salt into his wounds by refusing to let go of the submission hold.
