MJF made his long-awaited return to AEW Dynamite, making his first appearance since Double or Nothing.
The former world champion targeted AEW continental champion Kazuchika Okada, AEW world champion Swerve Strickland, and international champion Will Ospreay with his cutting remarks and scathing insults.

Rush interrupted the proceedings and took exception to MJF stepping back into the company and thinking he was owed anything. The Salt of the Earth responded by paying him respect for establishing himself in arenas across Mexico before insulting him in Spanish.
A pull-apart ensued and we had our first taste of the immediate program awaiting MJF.
While there may be an urge to book that match as soon as possible, holding it off until June 30 at Forbidden Door feels like the right move, avoiding the seeming randomness of the card, which MJF brought up.
Develop the rivalry, build to the match, and execute it.
MJF was great on the mic here but Rush was not the guy to send out there to go verbal blow-for-blow with The Devil and, more importantly, booking his motivations to be that of a generic foreign heel in 2024 feels rather uninspired.
At least the brawl was solid and the match has the potential to be strong.
MJF specifically focusing his attention on Strickland, Ospreay, and Okada seems like a performer lying the groundwork for a busy next year against some of the top stars in the company and fans should be excited about that.
