No longer on retainer.
MJF has been conflicted in recent weeks and unhappy that Stokely Hathaway has inserted himself into things with him and Jon Moxley.
On Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, MJF told Hathaway that he wanted Moxley at 100% for AEW Full Gear and if The Firm (Lee Moriarty, The Gunn Club, W. Morrissey, & Ethan Page) disobeyed him, then he'd fire Hathaway and The Firm. Durig the segment, MJF also stated that he would not use the Dynamite Diamond Ring against Moxley at AEW Full Gear.
The Firm didn't listen and MJF made good on his promise. The Firm attacked Moxley after he successfully defended the AEW World Title against Penta El Zero Miedo in the main event. MJF remained conflicted as to whether he should help, and eventually made the save. Blackpool Combat Club were locked in their locker room.
MJF pushed The Firm aside and fired Hathaway and The Firm.
The Firm immediately turned their attention to MJF, attacking him and laying him out as the show came to a close.
Despicable acts by #TheFirm after tonight's World Title match, and @The_MJF lets @StokelyHathaway he does NOT approve!
