MJF Tries to Humiliate Dustin Rhodes on AEW Dynamite—Ends Up Eating a Cheap Shot Instead

AEW Dynamite brought their show to Atlanta’s Gateway Center Arena on February 5. They had a lot that they needed to hype, and MJF took centerstage during the night.

MJF was featured in the second hour of the show this week. He had a microphone with him, and he was ready to rock. After telling the production truck to cut his music, he took way too much time and then started firing off on Jeff Jarrett.

Double J rejected MJF’s offer to help him win the AEW World Title, and that wasn’t received well at all. MJF trolled Double J, saying that he’s not Elite. That is what the E in AEW stands for, after all.

MJF wants Jeff Jarrett to win the AEW World Title, so he can challenge for it. However, MJF was cut off by Max Caster, who was then ran off by Hangman Page. MJF then continued on with his promo, and he called them talentless hacks.

Fans chanted “shut the f*ck up,” and then Dustin Rhodes interrupted MJF. MJF wasn’t about to hear anything from Rhodes, but he had plenty to say. Dustin Rhodes went off on MJF for mentioning Owen Hart, and also by bringing up someone’s addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Dustin Rhodes said that he crawled out of hell, and that’s why he knows that MJF is not The Devil. He said there’s a reason that he’s still hanging with everyone on the roster at 55-years-old, because he’s a survivor. Rhodes then said that he’s better than MJF and “your punk bitch friggin ass knows it.”

MJF took a second to let fans chant for Dustin, and then he applauded his promo. Then MJF brought up how he didn’t like the part where he said he’s better than him. Then MJF brought up Dustin Rhodes, as he said it took Dustin 30 years to get out of the American Dream’s shadow. Then, just as MJF was about to mention Cody Rhodes, Dustin jumped MJF.

Security immediately jumped in the ring and separated them, but Dustin Rhodes got some shots in. Then, MJF jumped back in the ring and nailed a low blow on the former Goldust before he left the ring with his scarf in hand.
