At AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen, Jeff Jarrett’s hometown crowd in Tennessee cheered for “The Last Outlaw” as he laid out his dreams of becoming AEW World Champion. But the celebration took a sharp turn when Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) crashed the party, stirring up speculation and serving up insults with his trademark flair. According to MJF, Jarrett’s recently signed AEW deal is his last, and the clock is ticking—one year left to grab the brass ring before hanging up his boots.
“MJF vs. Jarrett: Dreams, Deals, and Disrespect”
Jarrett took to the ring to announce his plans to chase the AEW World Championship in 2025, but MJF wasted no time turning the moment into a roast session. From jokes about Jarrett’s age to insinuating his “one-year deal” was less about retiring on his terms and more about AEW’s lack of faith, MJF painted Jarrett as a wrestler past his prime.
Adding fuel to the fire, MJF offered to “help” Jarrett fulfill his dream of becoming AEW World Champion—but only in exchange for a guaranteed title opportunity. The Tennessee crowd rallied behind Jarrett as he dismissed MJF as a “one-hit wonder,” sparking a chant that likely bruised MJF’s ego more than any finisher. Jarrett left the ring, declining the offer and seemingly setting the stage for a clash between the two.
“Is the End Near for Jarrett’s In-Ring Career?”
While AEW has not confirmed MJF’s claims, Jarrett has previously referred to his current AEW contract as his “final talent deal.” If MJF is correct, 2025 could mark the end of Jarrett’s storied career inside the ring, leaving him just one year to chase his ultimate dream of holding AEW’s top prize.
With Powerhouse Hobbs now set to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at Maximum Carnage, Jarrett’s path to the title remains uncertain. But if there’s one thing fans know about “The Last Outlaw,” it’s that he won’t ride off quietly.
