In a recent interview with SEScoops, AEW World Champion MJF discussed the torn labrum shoulder injury he is dealing with going into the December 30th AEW Worlds End pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On working through the injury: “I got PRP done and something called EPAT where what they do essentially is, it’s almost like shock therapy straight onto the muscle. I’m not going to lie to you, I cannot lift my arm all the way up north south. Point blank. Probably not something I should be discussing publicly. I’m kind of being known for being honest to a fault. I can’t lose this belt. This world title reign, it means too much to too many people. Most specifically, it means too much to me.”
On his plan for his title defense against Samoa Joe: “I’m going to go in there guns blazing, I’m going to give it 110%. I’ve wrestled Samoa Joe before, hardest match of my reign. I believe I’ve had 11 title defenses, I also hold the world of most title defenses of any world champion in the history of the company. Of every single match I’ve had, the one where I was in the most physical danger was Joe at Grand Slam. I know what I’m heading into, but I’m going to win because I have to win.”
MJF will defend the AEW World Title against Samoa Joe at AEW Worlds End in Uniondale, New York.
