– Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite in Los Angeles saw AEW World Champion MJF interrupt Konosuke Takeshita during his entrance for a singles bout with Bryan Danielson. The promo included MJF taking shots at Takeshita, calling him Take-A-Shit-A. The promo also saw MJF take shots at actor/comedian Ken Jeong, who was at ringside, and Freddie Prinze Jr. Danielson ended up coming out and chasing MJF away, then defeating Takeshita. Danielson now has to defeat the next four opponents in order to secure the Ironman Match against MJF at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
MJF’s promo at Takeshita included a line that drew heat from fans as it was seen by some as offensive. He said, “Hey! Konnichiwa, bud! What’s up, how’s it going?”
In an update, a new report from Fightful Select notes that MJF’s line was cleared with Takeshita ahead of time.
