However, Beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/beyondwrestling\/status\/2062487283706519905?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">sent out an announcement<\/a> this morning saying MJF suffered a hyperextended knee on Wednesday\u2019s AEW Dynamite and won\u2019t be able to travel or compete in time for the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately @The_MJF hyperextended his knee during his match last night &amp; is not medically cleared to travel or compete,\u201d Beyond wrote. \u201cHe will not be in Cranston tomorrow night but assured me he will wrestle for Beyond Wrestling as soon as his schedule allows. We wish him a speedy recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To prove himself as a traveling champion, MJF started to take more indie bookings during his second reign with the AEW World title.
