It seems that the first match is set for the 2024 edition of AEW All In London at Wembley Stadium, set up on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.
In an in-ring segment to kick off the show, MJF was set to address the crowd when he was interrupted by hometown hero in Buffalo, New York, Daniel Garcia.
Garcia shared a positive story about MJF, noting that MJF had reached out to Garcia backstage to let Garcia know that he saw something in him, and spoke to Tony Khan about Garcia having a title match.
MJF continued to praise Garcia and offered him a handshake, suggesting they compete in a match against one another at AEW All In London at Wembley Stadium.
Just as Garcia was looking overjoyed and about to accept, their moment was interrupted by Will Ospreay.
Ospreay came to the ring and also told Garcia he had been impressed by his recent wins, and suggested that on next week’s AEW Dynamite in Chicago, that Ospreay put his International Championship on the line against Garcia.
Will Ospreay also offered to add in the AEW World Championship “when” he wins that from Swerve Strickland at this Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view , making their match next week for both titles.
Garcia enthusiastically accepted, and when he turned his attention back to MJF, MJF told Garcia he was happy for his big opportunity and to focus on that.
It appears that Garcia was in favor of accepting both matches, but the one against MJF at All In wasn’t made ‘official’.
All In takes place on Sunday, August 25 this year. Many expected Ospreay vs MJF could actually take place there, especially with a big face-to-face between them on Dynamite last week.
MJF walked to the back alone looking dejected about Ospreay taking his spotlight away, and still exiting through the heel tunnel for those keeping track.
So the door may still be open for MJF vs Ospreay, despite the challenge from MJF being to Garcia on this episode.
