MJF and Hangman stakes put AEW's world title picture on a hard line

MJF framing this match as a chance to permanently block Hangman from future title shots creates a concrete consequence, the AEW World Championship scene could lose one of its most established challengers if Hangman is defeated.

Quote from MJF

"Look, it’s complicated. You know, a part of me is obviously upset. I don’t believe in this kind of professional wrestling. I think this kind of professional wrestling is hack and very indie and trash and garbage, which is why Hangman loves to do it. But the part of me that is happy is I really know for a fact I’m going to win. There’s no part of me that’s questioning that. The idea of ensuring that he could never be world champion again, just literally, if you see this belt move, it’s because I can get hard just at the thought of it. I mean, honestly, it’s incredible."
