MJF says he is happy for Allin and hopes he has had fun holding the AEW World Championship that belongs to him, but says there is a small part of him that knows this will be Allin’s last time holding the AEW World Championship. MJF then says Allin is a stuntman and says nothing matters anymore than a legacy. MJF then says Allin’s legacy will be a kid who had 15 minutes of fame and has had no impact as AEW World Champion. MJF then says the fans will know deep down that Allin just got lucky and was too reckless to stay on top. MJF then says his legacy will be the guy who became an AEW World Champion at 30 years old. MJF then says he’ll go down as the greatest of all time.
Allin then says only someone like MJF who’s vain would think the number one thing in life is legacy. Allin then says he doesn’t care about legacy, but rather the present moment and demands that MJF sign the contract so that he can make him a “bald headed b****” at Double or Nothing.
