Former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) was involved in a controversial segment at last night’s Dynamite: Maximum Carnage. This caused an uproar among fans.
MJF is one of the best speakers in the professional wrestling business. He can hold a microphone and is usually one of the most entertaining stars with a microphone in hand. Recently, Maxwell tangled with Jeff Jarrett after the latter expressed his desire to win the AEW World Title. The Salt of The Earth offered to help The Last Outlaw win the title in exchange for a first shot at the title, which Jarrett declined. This week on Dynamite: Maximum Carnage, MJF and Jeff Jarrett came face to face again.
The Devil touched on Double Ja’s addiction to alcohol and even made some personal comments towards the latter’s wife. Jeff didn’t hold back when talking about Friedman’s childhood either. However, the segment took a dark turn when the Wrestling Wolf mentioned the deceased Owen Hartresulting in Jeff punching him. Karen Jarrett ran to the ring to separate her husband from the American Hero, but Maxwell used her as a shield before escaping.
Fans weren’t too happy with the segment and later commented on the AEWs X (Twitter) post to give their honest feedback.

The segment between MJF and Jeff Jarrett was controversial for many reasons. One of the things they both did during their segment was shoot their partners. Maxwell noted that Jeff’s wife, Karen, was previously married to Kurt Angle. On the other hand, Jarrett commented on the backstage “activities” of The Wolf of Wrestling girl (Alicia Atout).
Speaking further Smashed after darkTommy Dreamer he was not a fan of men shooting each other’s partners and suggested a different path they could take.
“I could have done without the footage of ‘your girlfriend is an as*ut, while your wife was married to someone else.’ Jeff played it great because he said, ‘Hey, this has all been done.'” However, the retorts about your girlfriend being a promiscuous young lady got an ooo, and she got an aah, but where was the judge; Jeff Jarrett was always the son of Jerry Jarrett, who was a big star in wrestling,” he said.
It will be interesting to see if MJF and Jeff Jarrett fight inside the squared circle in the coming weeks.
