MJF attempted to put an AEW star on fire as he laid out his conditions during this week’s episode of Dynamite.
Last week in Cincinnati, Ohio, Maxwell Jacob Friedman got goaded by AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page to invoke his contract. Frustrated from being tricked by Page, MJF attacked him in the parking lot as revenge and reminded him how dangerous he could be.
As a result, The Salt of the Earth and The Cowboy will main event this year’s edition of Forbidden Door at The O2 Arena in London, England, after AEW President & CEO Tony Khan made it official.
On this week’s episode, Page called out MJF, but commentator Tony Schiavone revealed that the latter will show up and address him via video footage.
The challenger, along with Gates of Agony (Toa Liona and Kaun) and Ricochet, had a defenseless Mark Briscoe, who was tied to a chair. Then, he proceeded to issue the three conditions to Hangman for Briscoe’s freedom.

MJF let it be known to the reigning AEW World Champion that the title could change hands via disqualification and countout. Pulling an UNO reverse card, The Salt of the Earth revealed that he won’t have to use his contract from the Casino Gauntlet at All In 2025.
Friedman poured gasoline on Briscoe as Ricochet, Liona and Kaun were watching. Then, he sparked a lighter in an attempt to burn the Sussex County Chicken alive so that Page would abide by his conditions.

As Maxwell Jacob Friedman tried to end Mark Briscoe by setting him on fire, an irate “Hangman” Adam Page finally gave in to his challenger’s demands.
Enraged, the AEW World Champion attempted to hunt down MJF but didn’t find him.
Full of rage, #AEW World Champion Hangman Page is hunting for @The_MJF but crosses paths with @KingRicochet instead!

Instead, he smashed Ricochet with a chair and attacked a security personnel after learning that The Salt of the Earth had already left OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
With the conditions set in place, a bloodbath is definitely expected in the upcoming main event at Forbidden Door for the richest prize in All Elite Wrestling.
