MJF will be forced to defend his World Championship against Mark Briscoe after suffering a loss in the 12-man steel cage match.
Competing at Forbidden Door, the team of MJF and The Don Callis Family were defeated by Team Mark Briscoe in the chaotic and bloody bout. The match had a very unique presentation as the cage was circular to surround the ring as opposed to the traditional square format.
The closing moments oft he match saw MJF demand that Andrade El Idolo hold up Briscoe for the Dynamite Diamond Ring strike. However, as MJF was lining up for the shot, El Idolo shoved Broscoe out of the way and struck MJF. El Idolo then revealed his “F*ck MJF, f*ck Don” T-shirt before exiting the cage. Briscoe then hit a Jay Driller onto Jake Doyle to win the match for his team. In a post-match promo, Briscoe said that he would be cashing in his opportunity on July 1 on the next episode of Dynamite.
