MJF sent a clear message to Adam Cole this evening at AEW Full Gear after his match with Roderick Strong ended.
The finish of the match saw MJF lock Roderick Strong in Salt of the Earth to win the match via submission.
After the match, MJF put Strong’s arm in a steel chair and stomped on it. Adam Cole and The Undisputed Kingdom hit the ring, but Friedman escaped through the crowd. Kyle O’Reilly came out and pushed Cole to the ground blaming him for what happened to Strong.

MJF vs. Roderick Strong
MJF made surprisingly quick work of Strong. Friedman took advantage of a mistake by Strong and made him tap out in an armbar. He got a chair after the match and smashed Strong’s hand in it. Adam Cole runs out for the save and MJF runs off through the crowd. Kyle O’Reilly, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett are in tow, and KOR shoves Cole and screams at him for letting Strong get attacked, while Bennett tries to reassure Cole.
The match was brief but served its purpose for the storyline. That said, it feels like this angle could’ve been saved for TV, or the match could’ve been given more time.
Winner – MJF
