– Inspire Pro Wrestling has announced that Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) suffered an elbow injury at last night’s AEW Fight for the Fallen event. As a result, he was forced to withdraw from the scheduled Inspire event tonight, where he was supposed to defend the Pure Prestige title against Ricky Starks.
Inspire added that the company has made a mutual agreement with Friedman to have him vacate the title, as MJF is soon going to become exclusive to AEW. You can check out the full announcement below.
“BREAKING NEWS: AS THE ADDAGE GOES, ‘CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE.’ At approximately 4:07 this morning, INSPIRE PRO was delivered the unfortunate news that PURE PRESTIGE CHAMPION MAXWELL JACOB FRIEDMAN sustained a severe elbow injury at last night’s FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN event.
