Update on AEW world champion MJF following reports that he suffered a legitimate injury
As seen during the June 3rd 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF successfully defended the AEW world title against Rush. However, MJF reportedly suffered an injury during the match.
In a video published to Instagram, MJF provided an update on his status while taking a cold plunge…
“Very recently, I have hurt my left knee. I hyperextended it in a match against RUSH, who is a bad person. I think we all agree on that. And honestly, this match happened on Wednesday. It is now, I believe, Tuesday? And my inflammation in my knee has drastically gone down.”
“Obviously, there’s still a s**t ton of inflammation and pain, but being honest with myself, without this cold plunge, I do believe it would have took me a lot longer to start feeling like myself. And honestly, I think Nordic Wave is going to be a big part of ensuring that I don’t have to take any time off, which is imperative for both my career and, frankly, the company of All Elite Wrestling, ratings, ticket sales, pay-per-view buys, you name it. You’re welcome.” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
