A new report has provided an update on MJF following an injury scare at Double or Nothing.
At the show, Friedman defended the AEW World Championship against Sammy Guevara, ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry, and Darby Allin in a Four-way Match.
The bout saw the challengers give it their all as they threw caution to the wind to try to reach the pinnacle of the company for the first time.
However, it wasn’t to be for any of the trio as the end of the match came in stunning style to the disgust of the crowd. With Allin preparing to hit the Coffin Drop, the champion placed his World Title belt across Jungle Boy’s chest, causing damage to both men as Allin fell from the top rope.
In a call back to their earlier rivalry, Friedman then proceeded to pin Allin following a Head Lock.

Although the Salt of the Earth emerged victorious, he wasn’t unscathed. One spot during the match saw him perform a top rope Powerbomb on Allin. Following the move, the star clutched his arm in pain.
