AEW World Champion MJF wrestles first indie match since 2019
While returning home to Long Island over the weekend, AEW World Champion MJF wrestled his first indie match since 2019.
MJF made a schedule appearance at Create A Pro Wrestling's Homecoming event in Melville, New York on Saturday night. He ended up competing in the ring at the show, defeating Leo Sparrow in an impromptu match. The full match can be seen on Create A Pro's YouTube channel:
The match was made after the heel Sparrow used MJF's "I'm better than you — and you know it" catchphrase during a promo. MJF's music then hit and he made his way out to confront Sparrow.
Before the bell rang, MJF addressed the "dirty rumor" going around that he doesn't like to wrestle matches that much.
"There's a dirty rumor about me amongst professional wrestling fans. People say I don't like to wrestle too much," MJF said. "And, guys, that couldn't be further from the truth. I love to wrestle, actually. The problem is I don't like to wrestle in front of disgusting poors in sh*tty states in front of gross AEW fans. There's only one place I like to wrestle, baby. And it's the most magical place in the world known as Long Island."
MJF was trained at Create A Pro by Brian Myers and Pat Buck. He put over Myers and Buck in a post-match promo, crediting the Create A Pro Academy for the success he's had in wrestling.
MJF has been AEW World Champion since November 2022. He's defending the title against Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, and Sammy Guevara in a four-way match at AEW Double or Nothing on Sunday, May 28.
