Details continue to emerge about MJF's contract status withAEW, and it's become clear exactly when he'd be able to bolt the company for WWE if he chose to do so.

That fight opened the Double Or Nothing card, and MJF was met with a thunderous level of jeering from the crowd as he walked to the ring.

MJF was stretchered out of the ring, and it's unclear when he'll appear for AEW again.
