Towards the end of his feud with Wardlow, the Pinnacle Leader grew weary of his current role in AEW. This snowballed into the now infamous pipe-bomb promo against Tony Khan.

Calling out the president of the company for his apparent favoritism of former WWE stars, Maxwell went off on an expletive-filled rant about how he was treated in the All Elite scene.

Interestingly, the feud has blurred the lines between reality and kayfabe, as fans are left guessing whether the entire thing is a hoax or not. Eric Bischoff has a different philosophy, as he spoke about it on his AdFreeShows.com exclusive series, Strictly Business:

MJF’s future is still unclear at this point. Fans will have to stay tuned to see how the controversial storyline unfolds in the coming weeks.

MJF’s last AEW promo impressed Eric Bischoff

While Bischoff has been a harsh critic of AEW, he does give credit where it is due.

Speaking on the same podcast, the former manager approved MJF’s pipe-bomb promo, praising the star:

Since the incident, the Pinnacle leader’s name has been wiped out from almost everything connected to All Elite Wrestling. If the storyline is indeed scripted, Tony Khan is pulling out all the stops to make it believable.
