During the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, an exciting development occurred as Hiroshi Tanahashi, a prominent star from NJPW, challenged MJF for a title match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. In a backstage segment, MJF initially appeared to reject the offer. However, fans were thrilled when AEW later confirmed that the match-up would indeed take place at the upcoming pay-per-view event.
After securing a victory at the NJPW New Japan Road event on June 18, Hiroshi Tanahashi took the opportunity to address the situation backstage. In an intriguing turn of events, Tanahashi unintentionally mispronounced MJF’s name multiple times while conveying his message to the reigning champion.
In retort, MJF decided to show a picture displaying the online “interest” level between himself and Tanahashi over the past 90 days. The graph clearly demonstrated that MJF’s line surpassed Tanahashi’s, implying higher recognition and popularity. Using this as his ammunition, the AEW World Champion playfully pointed out that people have a better grasp of spelling his name compared to Tanahashi’s.
