More On MJF Knee Injury And Whether It Will Impact His Future AEW PPV Plans

As reported earlier, AEW star MJF is dealing with a hyperextended knee following his match against Rush on the June 3 episode of Dynamite. The injury reportedly caused swelling and pain, leading to the cancelation of a scheduled Beyond Wrestling appearance.

While the injury resulted in swelling and concerns about his short-term availability, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that AEW’s current pay-per-view plans involving MJF have not been affected. According to the newsletter, there is strong confidence internally that MJF will remain involved in whatever plans are scheduled for Forbidden Door. The report specifically stated that he is “1 million percent doing what is scheduled for San Jose.”

MJF was originally set to face Bobby Orlando at a Beyond Wrestling event on June 5 in Cranston, Rhode Island. However, he was forced him to withdraw from the booking. To fill the vacancy, Andrade reportedly agreed to take MJF’s place on the card.

MJF had been publicly embracing an old-school approach to the AEW World Championship with matches in independent promotions.

More recently, MJF noted that his scheduled Beyond Wrestling match would be his “last indie match for a long time.” Despite being unable to compete on June 5, the report notes that he has “committed” to returning for a future Beyond Wrestling event.

At this time, neither AEW nor MJF has issued a public medical update regarding the injury.
