MJF suffered a couple of injuries at AEW Full Gear 2023 that resulted in him taking some time off from AEW, and he recently looked back at the match. The then-AEW World Champion faced Jay White in the bout, and he spoke about getting hurt and the intensity of the pain he was under while finishing the bout during an appearance on Casual Conversations with The Classic. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On his injuries at Full Gear: “In the Jay White match, I beat him on one leg by the way, no big deal. I hit an elbow drop from the top rope to the floor because I was trying to impress people that I thought cared about me, later on I found out they didn’t, and my hip popped out of socket… He hit me with a Uranage off the top rope, and I landed directly on my left shoulder and my labrum just snapped entirely in half.”
On his reaction backstage after the match: “I was just crying, like I’ve literally not cried like that in my entire life. I was just balling my f**king eyes out because the adrenaline dump wore off … it was the most pain I’ve ever been in in my entire life.”
