AEW Star MJF Sidelined by Injuries Ahead of All In London Event

AEW wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) has been absent from television since losing the AEW World Championship to Kenny Omega at the Beach Break event. AEW President Tony Khan disclosed that MJF suffered multiple injuries during this year’s matches and will need time to recover, leaving him off the Redemption pay‑per‑view card. Khan indicated that Friedman remains in AEW’s plans for the upcoming All In pay‑per‑view in London, although his exact appearance date is uncertain. The wrestler was also replaced on the Grand Slam Mexico poster by the new champion Omega.

Former WWE tag‑team champion Matt Hardy praised the Omega‑MJF title match, calling it "one of AEW’s best in recent months" and saying, "I actually sat back and watched them. They had a killer match, and the crowd was into it, and they went all out." However, Hardy said he would have preferred a championship showdown between MJF and Will Ospreay, believing it would have sold the most tickets and pay‑per‑views. He also critiqued AEW’s storytelling consistency and highlighted a tag‑team match that ran longer than necessary.

Both discussions centre on the impact of MJF’s injuries on AEW’s title picture and future event planning.
