MJF was reportedly injured at last night’s AEW Fight For The Fallen event.
He was scheduled to appear at Inspire Pro Wrestling’s event tonight in Austin, TX to defend the Pure Prestige Championship against Ricky Starks.
Inspire Pro Wrestling announced they were made aware early Sunday morning that MJF suffered a “severe elbow injury” at the Fight For The Fallen event, and could not appear at tonight’s show. The injury reportedly occcured during the six-man tag team match where he teamed up with Shawn Spears and Sammy Guevara against Darby Allin, Jimmy Havoc, and Joey Janela.
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.
