Story byA referee holds up the hand of MJF after he won a match on "AEW Dynamite." - AEW/Lee SouthDaisy RuthSun, December 28, 2025 at 5:15 AM UTC·2 min readAfter cashing in his shot earned by winning the Casino Gauntlet match upon his return to AEW, MJF is the new AEW World Champion after dethroning Samoa Joe, and defeating "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland in the process in their four-way match at Worlds End. The match got off to a chaotic start that was dominated by the champion until Page took out the field on the outside of the ring with a moonsault off the top rope. At one point, Page and Strickland met face-to-face in the ring and Strickland hit a Deadeye of his own. He looked for a House Call, but Page countered with a lariat, followed by the Buckshot Lariat.
