A parking lot brawl took place on AEW Dynamite.

A surprise parking lot brawl took place in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

AEW World Championship “Hangman” Adam Page and Casino Gauntlet winner Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) went face-to-face during this week’s episode of Dynamite. After throwing insults at one another, Hangman successfully goaded The Salt of the Earth to execute the contract he won from All In.

This left MJF speechless and shocked as he realized the mistake he made, as he did not want to use the “backup plan” to execute his plans on regaining the world title, or as he called it, The Triple B.

Page and MJF will main event Forbidden Door at The 02 Arena in London, England, as confirmed by AEW President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan. The duo will have their rematch from Revolution back in March, where the defending champion outlasted The Salt of the Earth in a heated feud.

As he’s on his way to leave the Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, Renee Paquette stopped Page and informed him that MJF has officially agreed to invoke his contract from Casino Gauntlet for a world championship match.

MJF Assaulted Adam Page In A Parking Lot Brawl On AEW Dynamite

When he’s about to answer Renee Paquette’s questions, AEW World Champion Hangman Page was assaulted by Maxwell Jacob Friedman in a parking lot when he was smashed through the car bonnet.

The Salt of the Earth added insult to injury by repeatedly punching the champion and ramming his head into another car’s bonnet.

To close this week’s episode of Dynamite, MJF let Page know that he ain’t seen nothing yet. The former also promised the latter that he would break him.

The Salt of the Earth then left Cowboy lying and motionless to emphatically end the show. It remains to be seen how things pan out at Forbidden Door.
