AEW star MJF tried to replicate a Drew McIntyre trolling attempt on social media, but the effort quickly lost momentum. The incident began when McIntyre tweeted about targeting Cody Rhodes’ behind, sparking widespread reactions among wrestling fans and professionals alike.
McIntyre, known as The Scottish Warrior, initially posted that he wanted the backside of The American Nightmare. He followed up by claiming Cody’s behind “belonged” to him, only to realize the awkwardness of the statement. To admit his error, he shared a clip of Kurt Angle’s famous promo where Angle declared,
“you’re a boy in a man’s world”
to Rey Mysterio, signaling McIntyre’s own slip-up. This led to amusing responses from the wrestling community, including Cody’s wife, Brandi Rhodes.
Seizing on McIntyre’s approach, MJF aimed similar jabs at his AEW rival, Mark Briscoe. On the same platform, he sent a tweet aimed at Briscoe’s behind, exclaiming,
“BRISCOE IM TAKING IT OUT ON YOUR A*S!!!!!!!”
This bold message quickly attracted attention, with fellow AEW star Brody King reacting with a brief but pointed “pause.”
Mark Briscoe’s Response and Upcoming Match Highlight AEW Rivalry
Mark Briscoe wasted no time responding to MJF’s online attack, escalating anticipation ahead of their upcoming bout. The two will face off in a high-stakes Tables ‘n’ Tacks match at the All Out event in Toronto, Canada. Despite the buildup, MJF strongly opposed participating in this match type, adding tension to the rivalry.
AEW’s official channels underscored this heated contest, sharing clips highlighting the back-and-forth between Briscoe, who is nicknamed The Sussex County Chicken, and MJF, dubbed The Salt of the Earth. Fans have eagerly awaited this confrontation, especially given the provocative social media exchanges.
MJF’s Confrontation with AEW CEO Tony Khan Ends in Rejection
In a tense turn last Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, MJF stormed into the offices of AEW President and CEO Tony Khan, demanding to be removed from his Tables ‘n’ Tacks match against Mark Briscoe at All Out. He also pleaded for the ability to use his Casino Gauntlet contract against AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page at any time he chose.
Khan responded firmly, reprimanding MJF for breaching company protocols and compromising the sport’s integrity. This clash left MJF frustrated and was captured in a widely viewed segment.

During the confrontation, MJF warned that if another Briscoe ended up “laid out in the dirt,” Tony Khan alone would be held responsible, intensifying the drama between wrestler and executive as the All Out event approaches.
Implications for AEW’s Storylines and Fan Engagement
This sequence of events surrounding MJF, Drew McIntyre, and Mark Briscoe has stirred significant attention within the wrestling world, highlighting the blurred lines between online provocations and in-ring rivalries. MJF’s unsuccessful attempt to channel McIntyre’s trolling only added fuel to his heated feud with Briscoe, while his conflict with Tony Khan raises questions about future storyline developments.
As their Tables ‘n’ Tacks match nears, fans can expect high emotions and potential surprises, given the palpable tension. This storyline exemplifies AEW’s commitment to blending real-life interactions with wrestling entertainment, keeping audiences engaged across multiple platforms.
