WRESTLING stars MJF and Wardlow appeared to be attacked by a fan at the close of last night’s AEW Dynamite.

The duo had just fled the ring after inflicting a vicious and brutal belt-lashing on Cody Rhodes when the incident occurred.

Villainous MJF, whose full ring name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, was stood at the top of staircase in the stand at Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

He had his henchman Wardlow alongside him when the unknown assailant raced from the seats and got right in their faces wearing a beanie on his head.

The commentators, including WWE legend Jim Ross, appeared to be caught out as the show’s producers quickly cut the cameras away.

However, footage quickly returned of the duo delivering a beat down to their attacker.

That sparked confusion and rumours as to whether the “fan” was indeed a plant.

And Cageside Seats even believes they know the identity.

They claim the perpetrator was fellow AEW wrestler SoCal Uncensored's Frankie Kazarian.

MJF and Wardlow had just taken part in a highly-uncomfortable segment that led to his future opponent Cody Rhodes having his back ripped to bits.

The ex-WWE performer had agreed to receive a public back lashing in the middle of the ring in exchange for a match against the man dubbed “Salt of the Earth”.

But the gruesome punishment proved too much for many as a host of wrestlers raced out from the back to ring to send MJF and Wardlow fleeing into the audience.

AEW’s next pay-per-view Revolution takes place at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois on February 29, which you watch order and watch live via ITV Box Office.
