Maxwell Jacob Friedman/MJF picked up a big win at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 event tonight from UBS Arena.
The former AEW Champion managed to take the win over Hechicero in the opening match of the night with his new finisher: a modified Brainbuster.
This seemed to be a place-holder match for Maxwell as we head towards the All In event from Wembley Stadium, where he may well get a higher-tier competitor (at least from an All Elite sense, Hechicero is great).
