The AEW World Championship belt was unveiled tonight at Double or Nothing by Bret Hart.

The first champion will be determined at a later date when Chris Jericho (the winner of his match against Kenny Omega) takes on Hangman Adam Page (the winner of the Casino Battle Royale).

Here’s a rundown of what happened during the Bret Hart segment from our Double or Nothing results:

Bret Hart was introduced and came out to unveil the AEW World Championship. Bret first introduced the winner of the Casino Battle Royal, Adam Page, who came out to the ring and will be competing for the title at a later date.

But MJF’s music hit and out he came, getting a big “asshole” chant from the crowd. MJF said “you people bought a ticket to see me so shut up.” He said “Wait Bret a fan’s coming in!” which got a lot of boos and a smile from Bret. MJF said that everyone’s booing him because they’re jealous, because they’re looking at the future of AEW. He called Page a horse, then said you know what happens when horses get a bum leg, you blow their stupid little brains out. MJF then called the crowd a bunch of fat white trash hicks. He said that we all know Page got a fluke victory, so why not relinquish his title shot to a real man. A man who’s going to be the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will… “actually scratch that, that catch phrase sucks. How about you relinquish your title shot to Maxwell Jacob Friedman, because I’m better than you, and you know it.” Page tried to attack him, but MJF escaped and walked back down the ramp. He said he doesn’t need this.

Jungle Boy then came out. MJF said that he’d love to wrestle a prepubescent boy, but not right now. Jimmy Havoc then came out. Havoc, Jungle Boy and Page surrounded MJF. MJF said “let’s talk about this like grown men,” then tried to punch Jungle Boy, but they all attacked him and Havoc and Jungle Boy chased him into the crowd.

In the ring, amidst all the chaos, Bret Hart revealed the AEW title.
