A former WWE star called out AEW World Champion MJF days after he won the gold at Double or Nothing. Maxwell finally became a three-time world champion after defeating Darby Allin in a brutal contest. Maxwell had to put his hair on the line in order to get his world title rematch. While Friedman won the match, fans have also shown love for the Relentless star’s over-a-month reign.

However, it seems like the Devil has to worry about his next challenger. Former United States Champion Andrade has been trying to win the AEW World Championship since he returned to the company this January. He came close to getting a shot at the title ahead of Revolution in February, defeating top stars like Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland. Unfortunately, he couldn’t defeat Hangman Page and has been waiting for his opportunity once again.

The Real Latino Man confronted Maxwell in the past few months, teasing a match between the two. However, now that the Salt of the Earth has got his title back, El Idolo has decided to win the AEW World Championship from him. At Double or Nothing’s Stadium Stampede, he and his team lost to Team Jericho.

Tonight on AEW Dynamite, Andrade laid out his intentions and claimed that he is focused on winning the AEW World Championship from the champ.

“Now that the stupid Stadium Stampede is over, I can focus on winning the world title. I’m beating the stupid and Patito MJF. MJF, you think you are better than a Real Latino Man? How you know?” he said. (00:00 – 00:47)

It will be interesting to see whether the three-time AEW World Champion will accept Andrade’s offer.
