MJF just torched a fan theory — and did it in the most MJF way possible.
After defending the AEW World Championship against Brody King at AEW Grand Slam Australia on February 14, a clip started making the rounds online showing MJF whispering something to King while pinning him for the three-count.
Wrestling Twitter did what it always does — zoomed in, slowed it down, and started playing lip-reading detective. One fan confidently posted:
“Watching this again. MJF broke character and from what I saw he said thank you Brody in the ring. Massive respect to MJF.”
The tweet caught traction fast, with people praising the champ for supposedly dropping the villain act for a moment of sportsmanship. There was just one problem. MJF saw it. And he quote-tweeted the fan with his own version of events:
*“LOL. I literally said ‘you’re a pussy eat this L.’ But go off I guess.”* Yeah. Not exactly a heartfelt thank-you.
The viral clip came from the final moments of the match, where MJF capitalized on King’s injured knee and sealed the win with the Heatseeker piledriver. As the referee counted three, MJF leaned in and appeared to say something to his fallen challenger — which immediately sparked speculation. But according to the champion himself, there was no babyface turn, no respect spot, and definitely no breaking character. Just classic MJF.
The moment proves once again that even a two-second whisper from him can turn into a full-blown internet debate.
Do you believe MJF’s explanation, or do you think he’s working everyone again? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s hear it.
