AEW world champion MJF claims that a fake pilot once tried to abduct him at event

I find my boss [Tony Khan] after this pilot says this to me, and I knock on his door. He opens the door, he goes, ‘Max.’

I go, ‘That’s me. I want you to know how much this means to me, the fact that you’re trying to fly me back home to my dad as soon as possible after he had the heart attack.’ Because he did know, my boss Tony did.

And he goes, ‘What the f*ck are you talking about?’

And I go, ‘The pilot just told—’

He goes, ‘I didn’t f*cking book you a jet to go back home tonight.’

So now I go back over with one of my bosses, like one of the EVPs in the company, QT Marshall. And QT goes, ‘So who you say hired you again?’

He goes, ‘Tony Khan.’ Tony Khan’s my boss.

‘Okay, are you sure about that?’

And then security comes and they grab this guy. And, and QT goes, before the guy leaves, he goes, ‘Wait a minute, wait a minute. We’ll let you stay if you show us your pilot’s license.’

And the guy, I sh*t you not, does this: ‘Ah, I left it at home.’ Get the f*ck out of here!

So then they f*cking throw, like, I guess they like throw the guy in whatever you call it, the brig or whatever. They take him f*cking downtown.

We still don’t know how he got backstage.

So, to be fair though, our security team has changed since then. But it probably was the building security, not even AEW security fault. But they asked this guy, ‘What were you planning on doing?’ And he was honest. He said he was going to f*cking abduct me.
