AEW Dynamite was a good show this week.
But it was originally going to be even better.
The Wednesday, May 17, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite from the Moody Center in Austin, TX. featured a segment with AEW Champion MJF slapping the microphone out of Renee Paquette's hands during a brief backstage interview.
Originally, AEW had plans for MJF to be involved in the in-ring segment with the other three "Pillars of AEW" -- Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara and Jungle Boy. The segment was to include Britt Baker, who is also considered among the "Pillars of AEW," in a situation where the former AEW Women's Champion would inform Friedman that even if he emerges victorious at AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 -- Adam Cole will be waiting for him.
According to one report, the reason AEW nixed the idea for the segment to play out in this fashion was because they didn't want to book things going into AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 with the belief that MJF retaining his AEW Championship in the "Pillars of AEW" main event is a "given."
