MJF defeated Daniel Garcia at AEW All Out, but a new report provides an update on how plans changed ahead of the match.
According to WrestlePurists’ Ibou, the originally planned finish to the match was for Garcia to win cleanly over MJF. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding Garcia’s status with All Elite Wrestling, the decision was made to have MJF win instead. The report notes that AEW is under the impression that Garcia will stay, but a deal has still not been signed.
Ibou also writes that MJF is expected to go film a movie. This could possibly explain the post-match angle, in which Garcia hit MJF with an avalanche piledriver. Officials checked on MJF and put a brace on his neck.
Garcia’s contract status has been a hot topic of discussion over the past few months. Back in July, it was reported that Garcia’s return to the company was not guaranteed, even though the company is confident he will end up staying. He returned at AEW All In, which seemed like a promising sign, but his future remains unclear.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
