Tony Khan Unhappy With MJF After AEW Revolution 2023
Tony Khan reveals he had to have a "serious conversation" with the AEW World Champion.
Due to one particular moment during MJF's match against Bryan Danielson at last night's AEW Revolution, Tony Khan had to have a "serious conversation" with the Salt of the Earth.
Speaking at the post-Revolution media scrum, the AEW President noted how he was unhappy with MJF's action towards a young fan named Titus.
As MJF and Danielson fought out in the crowd, Max grabbed a drink from a woman and threw it on a young fan stood next to her. That young fan would be the aforementioned Titus, and MJF's behaviour here is something that Tony Khan was not happy about.
LMAO. This is why MJF is the best heel in the business.

Via eWrestlingNews, Khan explained at the presser:
"Before we came up here, we had a serious conversation, and I mean that. It's not to be taken lightly. The young man, Titus, was a real pro about it. We'll see Titus again in AEW. I believe Titus is actually coming to Sacramento. I was just with him, he was a real champ about it. The champion didn't act like a champion there. I think Titus was great."
For his part, MJF stated how he thought the "kid looked thirsty".
While some may have thought that this incident was pre-planned and merely just part of the show, that appears not to be the case.
It's reported that Titus was initially "very upset", and Amanda Huber - who serves as AEW's Community Outreach Manager - came out to comfort Titus and his family. The family were then brought backstage, given free merchandise, and invited to an upcoming AEW event in Sacramento, California. Titus was also able to meet some of the AEW roster while backstage.
For those who missed Revolution, MJF retained the AEW World Championship over Bryan Danielson in a 60-minute Iron Man contest. Tied at 3-3, that match went to sudden death, where Max secured a 4-3 win after making Danielson tap out to the LeBell Lock after hitting him with an oxygen tank.
