MJF vs Jay White AEW World Title Bout Set for Full Gear 2023
MJF will defend his AEW World Championship against Jay White at AEW Full Gear 2023 PPV event.
During the October 4 episode of AEW Dynamite, Bullet Club Gold’s Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn called out MJF. MJF followed suit to confront them which led to MJF challenging Bullet Club Gold to a 3-on-1 handicap match. BCG trio retreated to avoid a brawl with MJF.
However, it turned out to be a ploy to allow Jay White to launch a surprise attack on MJF from behind and drop him with Blade Runner. He then took MJF’s title and declared that the company deserved the best champion. White then challenged MJF for a match at the Full Gear 2023 PPV event.
