No one can ever claim that MJF doesn't know how to draw heat, and he certainly did just that Wednesday night in Mexico City.

The former AEW World Champion faced off against Lucha Libre star Mistico at Grand Slam Mexico. While donning the red, white and blue to represent the United States, MJF took the cheap way out of the match and ended an otherwise great contest by low blowing his opponent right in front of the referee to force a disqualification.

Winning the match was clearly not as big as a priority as the blatant display of disrespect that followed it. As a chorus of boos reigned down upon him, MJF removed Mistico's mask and held it up high for the world to see. He would then put it on for good measure.

At least one fan in attendance at the show took the gesture a little too seriously and felt they needed to do something about it, that according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select.

"Sources in AEW claimed that a fan went after MJF at the hotel after the show. MJF was said to have been okay and laughed the situation off and was proud of it."

No other incidents, either during or after Grand Slam Mexico, have been reported. AEW is said to be very happy with how the event turned out overall.
