MJF says Wardlow signed a deal with the devil and the contract is iron-clad. MJF says he's going to make Wardlow's life a living hell. MJF says he'll put Wardlow on a cross just like 💦Jesus and if he sees so fit, he'll kick Wardlow's 'stank' mother of his house, because he owns him [Wardlow]. Wardlow makes his way down to the ring and takes out security, who were surrounding the ring. Security finally restrains Wardlow, MJF says Wardlow doesn't work for AEW, he works for MJF and MJF doesn't want Wardlow around anymore, which means he's trespassing.
