In the wild world of AEW, storylines twist and turn like a rollercoaster on steroids, and while the spotlight’s been shining brightly on the feud between AEW American Champion MJF and Will Ospreay, there’s been one man lurking in the shadows, asking the big question: “What about me? What about PAC?” The former International Champion isn’t one to be forgotten, and now he’s making sure everyone remembers just who he is and what he’s capable of.
On “AEW Dynamite,” PAC made a bold declaration that’s set to shake things up in a big way. He announced that whoever walks out of AEW All In as the American Champion—whether it’s MJF with his jingoistic swagger or Ospreay with his high-flying finesse—will have to face him two weeks later at All Out in Hoffman Estates, IL’s NOW Arena on September 7. This is no idle threat, as PAC earned his shot earlier this summer by winning a grueling four-way match against some of the toughest names in the business: Claudio Castagnoli, Kyle Fletcher, and Tomohiro Ishii.
The story gets even juicier when you consider the history of the title itself. Originally the AEW International Championship, the belt was rebranded as the “American Championship” by none other than MJF after he snatched it from Ospreay on the 250th episode of “AEW Dynamite.” In true MJF fashion, he didn’t stop there—he unveiled a garish new title belt that’s as loud and flashy as his “Big Burberry Belt” days as World Champion.
So, what’s next? While the world waits to see if MJF or Ospreay will leave Wembley Stadium with the gold, PAC is sharpening his claws, ready to pounce on the winner. This isn’t just about the championship—it’s about PAC proving he’s still a force to be reckoned with in AEW, and that no matter how many spotlights you shine elsewhere, he’s always ready to steal the show.
