Overview
- MJF phoned Busted Open Radio on January 22 to publicly offer TNA’s Nic Nemeth a shot at the AEW World Championship.
- Nemeth told Card Player that the match can happen because TNA lets him work freely and he believes MJF has similar latitude, noting the champion’s recent independent and CMLL appearances.
- Despite saying it is feasible, Nemeth questioned whether MJF is serious and taunted that the AEW champion could not keep up with him in the ring.
- Nemeth added that he would be humbled to take the match and said he would help facilitate it, including donating proceeds to charity.
- AEW has advertised MJF vs. Brody King in a title eliminator for February 4, and no AEW–TNA bout with Nemeth has been announced as observers point to TNA’s ties with WWE as a possible hurdle.
