MJF has been in a heated rivalry with Daniel Garcia for a while now. It started a few months ago when Garcia brutally attacked him after his match against Will Ospreay on an episode of Dynamite. Garcia later stayed off television until AEW All In, where he returned and cost MJF the AEW International Championship.
At AEW All In in London, MJF fought to defend his title against Will Ospreay. There, Daniel Garcia distracted MJF, allowing Ospreay to take the opportunity to defeat him and regain his AEW International Championship.
After costing MJF the International Championship, Garcia faced him at All Out. Determined to secure a victory over MJF, Garcia ultimately came up short. After the match, tensions seemed to ease when MJF offered him a hand of friendship.
