MJF is back: What his shocking return means for AEW All In at Wembley

The timing, however, could hardly have been more dramatic.

Moments after Andrade El Idolo secured the coveted number one entry in the Casino Gauntlet at AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, MJF made his shock return, laying Andrade out with the Triple B version of the AEW World Championship belt and the Dynamite Diamond Ring before declaring that Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay's clash at Wembley was the "fake main event". He then made his intentions clear: he wants the number two spot in the Casino Gauntlet and plans to reclaim his place at the centre of AEW.

So what does MJF's return mean as AEW surges towards All In?

The Casino Gauntlet has suddenly become must-watch

Before Wednesday night, the Casino Gauntlet looked like an important match.

Now it feels essential. Andrade has already secured the number one entry, but MJF has promised to win the number two spot on next week's Dynamite, setting up a fascinating dynamic before the match has even begun.

Whether MJF ultimately wins or falls short, AEW has instantly added genuine intrigue to a bout that now feels central to the All In card.

Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay have another problem

The AEW World Championship has rightly dominated the road to Wembley.

Omega versus Ospreay has all the ingredients to headline the biggest show in company history, but MJF's return ensures neither man can focus solely on each other.

By branding their match the "fake main event" and carrying the Triple B, MJF has reminded everyone that he still considers himself the true face of AEW.

Even if he never officially enters the title picture before All In, his presence has created another major storyline surrounding the championship.

Andrade suddenly has a blockbuster rivalry

Andrade's victory should have been one of the defining moments of Grand Slam: Mexico.

Instead, it became the backdrop for MJF's return.

That attack instantly gives Andrade a personal reason to target one of AEW's biggest stars, whether inside the Casino Gauntlet or beyond.

It is exactly the kind of high-profile rivalry that could become one of the standout attractions on the road to Wembley.
