Inspire Pro Wrestling posted the following today, announcing that Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) suffered an elbow injury during Saturday night’s AEW “Fight for the Fallen” event.
Inspire added that the company has made a mutual agreement with Friedman to have him vacate the title, as MJF is soon going to become exclusive to AEW. They said,
“BREAKING NEWS: AS THE ADDAGE GOES, ‘CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE.’ At approximately 4:07 this morning, INSPIRE PRO was delivered the unfortunate news that PURE PRESTIGE CHAMPION MAXWELL JACOB FRIEDMAN sustained a severe elbow injury at last night’s FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN event. With MJF scheduled to appear at next week’s TRIPLEMANIA, the decision was made to pull him from tonight’s event to prevent any further injury. THEREFORE, MJF will NOT be defending his PURE PRESTIGE CHAMPIONSHIP tonight against RICKY STARKS. With MJF soon to become exclusive to AEW, the opportunity to reschedule the match is not possible. Therefore, MJF and INSPIRE have come to a mutual agreement to VACATE the PURE PRESTIGE TITLE.”
MJF teamed with Shawn Spears and Sammy Guevara against Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc, and Darby Allin during AEW’s “Fight for the Fallen” event:
