In a startling turn of events on the September 6 episode of AEW Collision, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) crashed the main event between Mark Briscoe and Konosuke Takeshita, costing Briscoe the match and setting the stage for a brutal showdown at AEW All Out 2025. This incident has officially added a highly personal rivalry match to the rapidly evolving All Out lineup, now confirmed for the pay-per-view event scheduled on September 20 at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena[1][3].
The collision unfolded as Briscoe, a respected veteran in AEW’s roster, was battling Takeshita in a high-profile bout. MJF’s interference not only undermined Briscoe’s chances but also escalated tensions dramatically. A post-match brawl erupted between MJF and Briscoe, requiring security intervention to separate the two combatants. The rivalry culminated in MJF daring Briscoe to name the time and place for a match, which Briscoe promptly accepted for All Out, promising to reveal the stipulation at a later date[1].
This feud adds a fresh narrative layer to AEW All Out, already stacking up as one of the year’s premier wrestling events. AEW has been aggressive in bolstering the pay-per-view card. Other confirmed bouts include Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin in a no-holds-barred Coffin Match, an AEW World Championship challenge from TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher to “Hangman” Adam Page, and a highly anticipated tag match featuring Adam Copeland & Christian Cage versus FTR, set to take place in Toronto, FTR’s hometown[1][2][4].
According to Fightful and sources close to AEW, this addition is strategic and designed to highlight MJF’s ruthless persona, pushing him into a central storyline leading into the card’s climax. An insider told WrestlingInc, “MJF’s attack on Briscoe wasn’t just a random act; it’s a calculated move by AEW’s creative to deepen his heel character while giving Briscoe a compelling platform for a showcase match at All Out.”[1]
The All Out 2025 pay-per-view is shaping up into a triptych of intense rivalries and title pursuits, with commitments from top stars and surprise challenges continuing to emerge. The event promises a diverse slate, including a groundbreaking Women’s Blood & Guts match, featuring AEW’s top female talent in a high-stakes cage battle—a first for the promotion[2].
AEW’s expansion of the card reflects the company’s recent burst of momentum following their successful AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 collaboration, which was met with critical and fan acclaim. The addition of MJF vs. Briscoe ensures All Out’s momentum remains high, giving fans a personal grudge match fueled by on-screen betrayal and escalating animosity[2][5].
