Let the speculation begin.
At the end of the September 27 episode of AEW Dynamite, a group attacked Jay White backstage. The members were covered from head to toe, so their identities were concealed. One of them stood out from the rest, as he was wearing a devil mask. He grabbed the camera and cut off the feed for the broadcast.
The devil mask was reminiscent of MJF’s own; the AEW World Champion calls himself “The Devil,” and he has worn the mask several times. He introduced it at AEW All Out 2022, where a group of masked individuals helped him win the Casino Ladder Match. This faction was later revealed to be The Firm. The group included Stokely Hathaway, Lee Moriarty, Colten Gunn, Austin Gunn, Ethan Page, and W. Morrissey.
No members of the group on Wednesday were identified. However, it’s easy to connect MJF to the attack. He and White got into a heated exchange earlier in the show. White set his sights on the world title, criticized MJF, and make it clear that he intends to dethrone the champion.
