The lights went out, and MJF made his entrance. Mark Sterling appeared to hand a contract to MJF, who signed it to cash in his guaranteed World Title shot. The main event for Worlds End was officially updated to a Four-Way match.
MJF dismissed Schiavone and addressed the competitors. He mentioned he had been away filming a movie and, while he admits to taking shortcuts, he wants to defeat Page and his biggest rivals simultaneously to leave no excuses. When Joe attempted to speak, MJF cut him off, mocking Joe’s hairline and vowing to end his reign.
MJF then turned his attention to Strickland, comparing him to P. Diddy and mocking his “Whose House?” catchphrase. MJF brought up their history on the independent circuit before Strickland went to WWE, mocking Strickland’s time there involving Top Dolla. MJF compared their title reigns, noting his lasted 406 days compared to Strickland’s 126 days.
MJF concluded the segment by declaring that “rent is due” and the Devil has come to collect. He referred to himself as Michael Corleone and vowed to reclaim the “Triple B” at Worlds End before delivering his catchphrase.
Match Update: The AEW World Championship match at Worlds End will now be a Four-Way match featuring Samoa Joe vs. Hangman Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland vs. MJF.
