This past Sunday night was the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view. One of the major matches of the night was the AEW World Heavyweight Championship match between the champion Hangman Adam Page and the challenger MJF.
Recently, MJF was interviewed by Vice. During the interview, he was asked about going after the AEW World Title. The Salt of the Earth was questioned about his decision to threaten Adam Page by attempting to set Mark Briscoe on fire, as Page had committed arson in the past. The Salt of the Earth mentioned that his goal was not to try to commit arson; all he wanted to do was enlighten people that the ‘babyface’ Hangman Adam Page is not a good guy.
“You have to understand my point here. This guy, he didn’t just threaten to set Swerve’s house on fire. He did it. And here’s little ‘ol MJF, this cowboy schmuck is super rude to me and convinces me to say something that I don’t believe in, saying that I’m gonna execute my contract out of anger. Which again, rude. Now here I am, all I did was threaten to light Mark Briscoe on fire. Did you see me light him on fire?
“Nope, I didn’t. ’cause I’m not a bad person like Hangman Adam Page. I’m not an arsonist, like Hangman Adam Page. I’m simply just trying to put a magnifying glass over everybody’s quaint little cute hero. He’s not a good person. But also, I have no beef with Mark Briscoe anymore. I beat Mark Briscoe clean, smack down the middle of the ring on Dynamite. It’s over. Mark Briscoe was a little chess piece because here’s the deal, cowboys, they play checkers. MJF, the white-collar badass, plays chess,” MJF said.
Hangman Adam Page managed to defeat MJF and retain his title.
