The match represents a full-circle moment for MJF, who became Limitless Wrestling’s first-ever World Champion in March 2019 before departing for AEW full-time later that year. Now, seven years into his AEW career and holding the promotion’s top championship, MJF is bringing the title back to where his independent wrestling journey once flourished.
“The independent wrestling scene is the lifeblood of our sport,” MJF told Justin Barrasso of Undisputed. “Now I get to come back to Limitless, a place where I got to cultivate my career when I was grinding it out.”
MJF won the AEW World Championship on December 27, 2025, at Worlds End, defeating Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Adam Page in a four-way match. His first reign with the title lasted a record-breaking 406 days, making him the longest-reigning champion in AEW history.

Alec Price’s Big Break
His opponent, 27-year-old Alec Price, is one of independent wrestling’s most accomplished performers. The former Limitless World Champion has built his reputation through standout work in Beyond Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling over his nine-year career.
This is a career-changing opportunity,” Price told Barrasso. “MJF is the biggest star with the biggest title, and I respect that, but I have something to prove. When the bell rings, I can’t wait to prove that the indies are strong and that I belong on TV.
The event takes place at The Colisée in Lewiston, with less than 200 tickets remaining from the venue’s 4,000-seat capacity.
MJF is Limitless
Limitless Wrestling owner Randy Carver, who founded the promotion in 2015 at age 18, called securing MJF’s return “something that always felt unrealistic” in Barrasso’s feature for his Undisputed Substack.
Every year, without fail, the number one vote for the wrestler our fans wanted to see return was the same: MJF,” Carver said. “This Friday is a major step forward for Maine professional wrestling.
The card also features AEW stars Hook, Eddie Kingston, and Ortiz, along with Donovan Dijak, and a WWE ID Women’s Title match between Laynie Luck and B3cca. The show airs live on IWTV.
MJF first defends the AEW World Championship against Bandido on Wednesday’s Dynamite before heading to Maine.
