Adam Page – MJF face to face
MJF told Page you are most vulnerable when you’re angry so I intend on making you very angry. Page said I already told you that you’re only going to get a title match if you earn it, which you haven’t done, or cash in your contract. You’re afraid because you know you don’t have what it takes to be the champion. MJF got upset and said he will cash in his Casino Gauntlet Contract at Forbidden Door.
Outside:
Jon Moxley said that whatever Darby Allin thinks is happening at Forbidden Door is not happening
