This past weekend Double Or Nothing happened out of Las Vegas and it was a resounding success. One of the biggest talking points heading into the PPV would be if MJF would show up for the show and wrestle Wardlow. He would show up and would lose in devastating fashion before being stretchered out of the arena, writing him off TV for now.
While speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray talked about MJF’s situation with AEW. He gave MJF props for not going home despite his issues with Tony Khan.
“Was it a work? Was it a shoot? I mean, who the hell knows if they’re working a great job, because you heard the reception for MJF last night when he came out. Most people were legitimately pissed off at him. Let’s just assume for one second that everything leading up to this was legitimate, and it was a shoot. MJF, for whatever reason, was pissed off, and he decided to take his bat & ball and go home. Let’s say it was 100% accurate. At least at the eleventh hour, cooler heads prevailed. He changed his mind, he came back, and he the right thing by doing good business.
So I commend MJF for showing up and doing his job, despite the fact that he might have been 1,000% legitimately pissed off at AEW, Tony Khan, whoever it may have been. At least he did not go home and stay home.”

Of course, it wasn’t a great situation all round with regards to MJF and while Bully isn’t sure if it is a work, reports have came out stating otherwise.
