Factions Collide as Tag Title Match Set for AEW’s Anniversary Show
Summary
– MJF signs on as the newest member of The Hurt Syndicate on AEW Dynamite
– Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP welcome MJF amid crowd backlash
– The Sons of Texas crash the party, igniting a heated face-off for Double or Nothing
AEW Dynamite delivered a shocker as MJF was formally introduced as the fourth member of The Hurt Syndicate. The segment kicked off with MVP Lashley and Shelton Benjamin making the official announcement, much to the dismay of the New Mexico crowd. MJF didn’t waste any time firing back at the boos, playing up his arrogance and trading insults with the audience.
Brilliant Mark Sterling ensured the paperwork was airtight as MJF, Shelton, and Lashley put pen to paper, finalizing the alliance. Tension flared as Shelton and Lashley weighed their decision, but the deal was sealed, and MJF was welcomed as a full member—just in time for AEW’s sixth anniversary weekend.
The celebration was cut short by the arrival of Sammy Guevara and Dustin Rhodes—the Sons of Texas—who interrupted to remind the champs they were coming for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at Double or Nothing. The exchange quickly turned heated, with Dustin calling out MJF and warning MVP to keep an eye on the “snake in the grass.” Both teams traded verbal jabs, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown in Phoenix.
With six years of AEW history on the line, The Hurt Syndicate’s new power dynamic faces its first real test against the surging Sons of Texas at Double or Nothing—streaming live on Prime Video.
