MJF is going for the three-peat.
MJF and Dante Martin were the final two in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal and will meet next Wednesday at AEW Winter Is Coming to see if MJF will retain the Dynamite Diamond Ring or if Martin will become the new holder.
Hometown hero MJF eliminated Lee Johnson, Lio Rush, and his Pinnacle partner Wardlow and Martin turned Ricky Starks, who was the third finalist, eliminating him from the match to set up the next Wednesday's showdown.
After the bout, MJF celebrated and put over Martin. Once he left, Starks attacked Martin. MJF didn't make the save, instead joining in on the attack. Punk made the save for Martin.
