MJF Uses Sneaky Tactics To Escape Kenny Omega With AEW World Title At Dynasty

MJF is still AEW World Champion, but the way he pulled it off against Kenny Omega left plenty of fans talking once the dust settled.

AEW Dynasty 2026 wrapped up inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, where a packed crowd watched MJF defend the AEW World Championship against Kenny Omega in the main event. The match had a big-fight feel from the moment both men made their special entrances, with fans fully aware they were about to see two of AEW’s biggest stars collide.

Omega pushed the pace early, forcing MJF into uncomfortable positions and taking risks that kept the champion on the defensive. The action spilled outside the ring multiple times, with tables introduced into the match and both men landing heavy shots. MJF tried to slow things down whenever he could, using holds and ring awareness to keep Omega from building too much momentum.

As the match wore on, Omega began stacking up offense. He delivered a moonsault from the top rope to the floor and followed that up with a series of near falls that had the crowd on edge. MJF answered with a Mexican Destroyer and several desperate counters, but Omega kept finding ways to stay alive.

The turning point came late in the match when Omega accidentally took out the referee with a knee, leaving no official available to count a fall. That moment opened the door for MJF to fall back on the kind of tactics that have defined his championship reign.

With the referee down, MJF grabbed his Dynamite Diamond Ring and tried to use it as a weapon. Although he missed that first attempt, the chaos gave him just enough breathing room to stay in the fight. Omega then hit a One Winged Angel that likely would have ended the match, but without a referee to count, the opportunity slipped away.

Moments later, the fight moved to the apron where a table had been left set up earlier in the match. MJF capitalized on the chaos, delivering a piledriver that drove Omega through the table before dragging him back into the ring. He followed that up with a Heatseeker to finally score the pin and retain the AEW World Championship.

MJF leaving Vancouver with the title wasn’t just about survival — it was about knowing exactly when to bend the rules and take advantage of the moment. That kind of sneaky approach has defined his run at the top, and it paid off again when the pressure was at its highest.

MJF managed to keep his title, but the way he did it could easily leave unfinished business between him and Kenny Omega. Do you think MJF proved he’s the smartest champion in AEW, or did he just get lucky when the referee went down? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
