MJF appears to be pulling out all the stops to ensure the stipulation for his upcoming match against Chris Jericho is enforced. On last Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF announced that Jericho could not enter the match to his entrance song Judas. His finishing move the Judas Effect is also banned.
After AEW’s official Twitter page suggested a loophole to get around MJF’s ruling on Jericho’s use of Judas, MJF responded asking his legal counsel Mark Sterling to look into the matter.
Sterling would respond by threatening to take legal action against AEW if the post was not removed, with Sterling saying:
“Take this down immediately. This is your first warning. I’ve filed a cease and desist to AEW on everything having to do with this song and you should be receiving the paperwork tomorrow. Do the right thing and we won’t have to take any more action.”

Mark Sterling would also previously comment that they will have security remove anyone who sings Judas on next week’s show.
If anyone tries to sing that boring song, we can have security throw them out!
