Following his recent defeat against MJF at AEW Grand Slam Australia, Brody King has revealed his determination to pursue the AEW World Title once again, targeting a comeback in February. The match, held in Sydney, marked King’s first one-on-one AEW World Championship contest since July 2022, highlighting his ongoing quest for the title.

“Bring the biggest, bring the baddest. February 25 I’m getting myself back into the World Title hunt. And I’m looking for a fight.”
King also expressed his close proximity to victory, saying,
“Man, I was this close. You know what? Now I can taste it!”
