Just when it seemed MJF’s focus might be shifting after his recent marriage to Alicia Atout, his violent return last week on Collision put everyone on notice. Now, the path to his AEW All Out showdown with Mark Briscoe has taken an even more chaotic turn, ensuring their clash in Toronto will be anything but a standard wrestling match.
During the tapings for this week’s AEW Collision, Mark Briscoe hijacked the broadcast to make his choice of stipulation known. According to a report from PWInsider covering the spoilers, Briscoe appeared via video message during an Ian Riccaboni interview with MJF.
He announced that their match at All Out will now be a tables and thumbtacks no disqualification match.
Following the announcement, Briscoe reportedly stormed the ring in an attempt to get his hands on MJF, but the former world champion managed to evade the attack, leaving the stage set for their brutal encounter. The confrontation comes just a week after MJF assaulted Briscoe to mark his return.
The stipulation adds a fascinatingly wild wrinkle to their intensely personal feud. The big question heading into Toronto is how this specific brand of hardcore chaos will favor either man, as both MJF and Briscoe are more than capable of thriving in a lawless environment, but neither is specifically known for this bizarre combination of weaponry.
