In AEW, “The Devil” reigns supreme.
At AEW Full Gear, MJF challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. “The Salt of the Earth” earned the title shot by winning the Casino Ladder Match at AEW All Out. Moxley won the title on AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam in September, as he beat Bryan Danielson to win the vacant title. He and Moxley have been on a collision course ever since.
At the pay-per-view, the two stars threw everything they had at each other. In the closing moments of the bout, two referee bumps led to a stunning betrayal, as William Regal slid his brass knuckles to MJF, who blasted Moxley and pinned him for the win. With the victory, MJF became the sixth man to hold the AEW World Championship. He is the youngest world champion in the company’s history.
Wait, what just happened?

Here’s how the match broke down, courtesy of our play-by-play coverage:
MJF pulls the referee into Moxley’s path when the champion ran at him. MJF gets the Dynamite Diamond Ring and thinks about using it. Regal tells him to put it down, and MJF does. Moxley sneaks up behind MJF and goes for a choke, but MJF counters it into a pin attempt. Moxley kicks out and goes for the choke again, but the replacement referee gets bumped. MJF taps, and the referee doesn’t see it.
Regal slides his brass knuckles to MJF, who blasts Moxley with them. MJF then pinned Moxley to win the match and the title.
