Summary

MJF publicly criticized TNA President Carlos Silva after Nic Nemeth was pulled from a scheduled match against the AEW World Champion at Create A Pro Wrestling on May 1.

The match change came after Moose was also removed from his MLP Multiverse booking during WrestleMania weekend. Silva had cited partner conflicts for that decision.

Create A Pro later announced a revised lineup for the May 1 event. MJF is now set for an open challenge, while Nemeth is scheduled to face Bear Bronson.

MJF is also heading into a major title defense, as he is scheduled to defend the AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega at AEW Dynasty on April 12.

Social media

MJF addressed the situation on social media, accusing TNA and Nemeth of backing away from the bout and taking a shot at Silva over the change. He also said he still plans to appear at the Long Island event despite the original match being scrapped.

What this means for MJF and Create A Pro

The immediate effect is that Create A Pro loses a promoted MJF vs. Nemeth singles match and has to pivot to an open challenge instead. That is a notable change for a WrestleMania week-adjacent independent card that had been built around a crossover match involving AEW and TNA talent.

For MJF, the timing keeps attention on him heading into AEW Dynasty, where he is set to defend the world title against Kenny Omega. For TNA, it adds more public scrutiny to the recent partner conflict decisions after both Moose and Nemeth were pulled from outside bookings.
