AEW World Champion MJF arrived in Winnipeg for this week’s Dynamite in exactly the manner you’d expect — with maximum contempt for his surroundings and a social media post designed to wind up every Canadian wrestling fan within reach. Ahead of his contract signing with Kenny Omega for their AEW Dynasty World Championship match, Friedman took to X to announce his arrival.
“Just an American folk hero en route to the worst country in the world, known as Canada,” MJF wrote, describing himself as an American folk hero in the same breath that he dismissed an entire nation.
MJF and Kenny Omega Sign Contract for AEW Dynasty World Title Match on Dynamite in Winnipeg
The contract signing between MJF and Omega for their Dynasty Championship match took place on Wednesday’s Dynamite in Winnipeg — though the segment was famously hijacked by Chris Jericho’s surprise return before either man could make their entrance. AEW also released an April Fools’ Day video featuring MJF alongside Renee Paquette and RJ City, adding a lighter touch to the champion’s week. His Dynasty title defense against Omega on April 12 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver will be one of the most anticipated championship matches AEW has produced in 2026.
