The fiery new rivalry between MJF and Mark Briscoe that erupted on the June 25 episode of AEW Dynamite isn’t just compelling television—it’s also a passion project for the former AEW World Champion himself.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, the personal feud is something MJF has been actively pushing for behind the scenes. Sources indicate that the program is “very important” to MJF, with the intensely personal tone of the promos being a direction he specifically wanted to pursue.
The angle officially kicked off after MJF and The Hurt Syndicate launched a brutal post-match attack on JetSpeed. Briscoe interrupted the beatdown, leading to a heated and highly quotable war of words between the two stars.
MJF wasted no time making it personal, taunting Briscoe with a scathing insult:
“The only reason fans love you is because they all grew up dirt ugly and dirt poor—just like you, you blue-collar b**ch.”
Briscoe fired back with one of the most viral one-liners of the night, referencing MJF’s manhood in hilarious fashion:
“If I was MJF going 30 years with a teeny, tiny, kosher pickle in his pants, I’d hang out with those guys too.”
The crowd erupted with “kosher pickle” chants as MVP led The Hurt Syndicate to the back, clearly rattled by the verbal blow.
The segment has since gained significant attention online, with fans praising the authenticity and intensity of the exchange. With confirmation that MJF is creatively invested in this storyline, it’s clear AEW plans to develop this feud into a marquee rivalry over the coming weeks.
