MJF has been losing his mind ever since he lost the AEW world championship to Darby Allin two weeks ago. But when Big Hebrew demanded that Darby give him back the belt last week on Dynamite, it was actually new TNT Champion Kevin Knight who came out to interrupt his promo. One thing led to another, and now it’s Knight vs. MJF for TNT gold on tonight’s episode. MJF is clearly the favorite to win in kayfabe, as he is the former world champion and already beat Knight on Dynamite back in March. But considering the rumor that MJF will be challenging Darby for the world title next month at Double or Nothing in a special stipulation match, I think Knight’s chances of winning here drastic go up. MJF can keep crashing out if he fails in yet another title match, and he doesn’t need this win to get a world title rematch with Allin; Darby gives out championship matches like candy and has already said that he’ll give MJF a rematch as long as he puts something on the line.

Then again, maybe the TNT title is exactly the thing that MJF needs to dangle in front of Darby to give him a rematch, as Allin once coveted that belt so highly that he wanted to hold it more than any other title in the promotion. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage have a tag team match tonight against Roppongi Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta). This is essentially a tune up match for E & C before they challenge FTR for the AEW world tag team championship in an I Quit New York City Street Fight at Double or Nothing. This is the first time Copeland and Cage are teaming up on AEW TV, rather than PPV. It may also be the last time they are teaming up on AEW TV, given the stipulation that their team is retired if FTR beats them in NYC.
