MJF isn’t slowing down when it comes to pushing boundaries, and his Starrcast antics just got even wilder.

After already catching heat for mocking Lex Luger’s disability and cursing out a female fan, the AEW star nearly escalated things again—this time with a bold swipe at someone’s phone.

Ringside News obtained footage of MJF walking through Starrcast alongside members of The Hurt Syndicate. As he passed a line of fans with cameras out, one person filming appeared to get under his skin. MJF reached out, seemingly trying to knock the fan’s phone out of their hand. He didn’t make contact, but the attempt alone left the crowd buzzing with reactions.

This all came shortly after his earlier comment about Lex Luger, where MJF told fans, “Why are you clapping for him? He can’t even walk.” When a woman in the audience reacted negatively, he fired back with, “I’m talking, you stupid b***.”*

The new clip is only adding fuel to the fire that’s already surrounding MJF’s behavior at the event. Whether it was part of the act or a legit moment of frustration, fans online are now debating whether he crossed the line for real—or if this is just classic Salt of the Earth doing what he does best.

At this point, controversy and MJF go hand in hand. But trying to slap a phone out of a fan’s hand might be a new level—even for him.
