MJF discusses his AEW Collision matchup with Kenny Omega.
On October 28th, Kenny Omega challenged for the AEW World Title just days before MJF would surpass his reign as AEW World Champion in terms of length.
The match was a back and forth affair on AEW Collision, with Omega pushing the champion to his limit.
In the end, MJF would capture the victory, retaining his title. After the match, both men would cut promos putting each other over.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, MJF noted he wanted the match and believes its the best match in AEW Collision history.
“I wanted a match with Kenny Omega, the best in the world in a pay-per-view main event–but on free television because I’m salt of the earth. That is the best match in Collision history, and it’s one of the best matches in AEW history. It was a really big deal for the company, and it really felt like the handing of the baton of who the top dog, bell-to-bell is in AEW. I couldn’t be more grateful that Kenny gave me that opportunity.”
