It’s been some time since fans have seen Maxwell Jacob Friedman as he last appeared on AEW programming when he lost to Mark Briscoe at the All Out pay-per-view on September 20th. Now it looks like he’s jumping right back into the mix as the AEW World Championship match will presumably main event Worlds End.
Stay tuned for updates.
