MJF’s Full Gear return nearly came with one very unintended casualty. As he was making his escape after attacking Will Ospreay, MJF accidentally caught a female fan in the face while hopping the barricade — but thankfully, it sounds like she’s doing just fine.
The incident happened moments after MJF made his surprise return at AEW Full Gear on November 14. After laying out Ospreay and revealing himself as the masked attacker, MJF left the ringside area by jumping over the barricade.
That’s when things went wrong. As MJF swung himself over, his foot accidentally caught a woman sitting nearby directly in the face, knocking her down and immediately leaving people wondering whether she had been hurt.
Sean Ross Sapp has now provided an update on the fan’s condition. According to people within AEW, the early indication was that she was okay after the accidental kick — and apparently didn’t make a big deal out of the whole thing.
“Early indications from people at AEW were that the fan that got accidentally kicked by MJF at Full Gear was okay and laughed the situation off.”
The accident came immediately after one of Full Gear’s biggest surprises. Will Ospreay had just defeated Kyle Fletcher to retain the AEW World Championship when a masked man attacked him from behind. MJF then removed the mask, revealed himself and stood over Ospreay with his Triple B championship belt before leaving. He later broke his silence on Twitter with just three words.
“I warned you.”
MJF certainly made sure his first night back gave people plenty to talk about, even if one part of his exit definitely wasn’t in the script. Thankfully, the fan apparently being able to laugh off the accidental kick means everyone can focus on the part AEW actually planned — MJF coming straight for Ospreay and the World Championship.
