As MJF's reign of terror continues, his underhanded tactics prove too much for the popular challenger Kenny Omega in a chaotic AEW World Title match.Everett TodayMJF defeated Kenny Omega at the AEW Dynasty pay-per-view to retain the AEW World Championship, but only after using underhanded tactics like attacking the referee and hitting Omega with his Dynamite Diamond Ring. Despite Omega's best efforts, including hitting his signature One-Winged Angel move, MJF was able to kick out and eventually win the match.
Why it matters
MJF's victory over the popular Omega continues his reign of terror as AEW World Champion, with the champion showing he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep his title. Allin, a former champion himself, now gets another shot at the belt as he looks to dethrone the hated MJF.
The details
The main event of AEW Dynasty saw MJF defend his AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega. Omega dominated much of the match, hitting his signature moves like the Terminator dive, the 'You Can't Escape' sequence, and the Snap Dragon Suplex. He even went for the One-Winged Angel twice, but MJF escaped both attempts. In the end, MJF was able to turn the tide by punching Omega in the stomach with his Dynamite Diamond Ring and then hitting the Tombstone Piledriver through a table on the outside. MJF then rolled Omega back into the ring and hit The Heatseeker for the victory.
