MJF emerged victorious in a grueling multi-person contest at AEW All In: Texas, securing the number one contender position for the Jon Moxley AEW World Championship Challenge. The 2025 edition of All In took place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, featuring the Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match that determines the next challenger for the AEW World Championship.
Intense Competition Featuring Top AEW and ROH Talent
The match began with Mark Briscoe and Maxwell Jacob Friedman entering as the first two competitors. Shortly after, Ricochet joined forces with MJF to gain an early advantage over Briscoe. Bandido and Konosuke Takeshita entered next, continuing their rivalry from the recent ROH Supercard of Honor event. Mistico followed, motivated by a recent confrontation with MJF. The ring soon filled with skilled fighters including Josh Alexander, Anthony Bowens, Roderick Strong, and Brody King.
The bout also marked the return of Juice Robinson and his partners, The Gunns, who intervened to prevent The Gates of Agony from aiding Ricochet. Kota Ibushi, The Beast Mortos, and Max Caster further intensified the competition before it reached its climax.
MJF Secures Pinfall and Awaits Championship Opponent
After a hard-fought battle, MJF clinched the win by pinning Roderick Strong, who had just been incapacitated by Mark Briscoe’s Jay Driller maneuver. With this victory, The Wolf of Wrestling has solidified his claim for a future AEW World Title match.
His next challenge will be against either Jon Moxley or Hangman Adam Page, depending on which wrestler retains or captures the championship by the end of All In: Texas.
