The AEW World champion did the top heelish thing at the AEW Revolution. While he was in the crowd, MJF took a bottle of water from a woman and threw the water at her kid.
It seems the kid was MJF fan, as he was sitting wearing his version of AEW World championship. As per Sean Ross Sapp’s tweet, the kid started crying after this act and he had to be taken backstage to smoothen things.
Sapp wrote, “It seems like the kid MJF threw the drink on wasn’t a plant. He was very upset.
@WilliamRBR went and got him an Acclaimed foam finger. Some others from AEW talked to the child to help smooth things over. Amanda Huber is sitting with him now”

Wrestling universe, not a fan of MJF throwing water on a kid
The wrestling fans quickly took over Twitter to show their displeasure over this act by MJF. As per the fans, he shouldn’t have thrown water on that kid if it wasn’t a planned spot for the show. Below are some of the reactions of the fans.
One of the top heelish thing MJF can ever do in his career!

The smart thing for her to do is walk out and call a lawyer.

A few fans thought he took it too far.
Not a fan of this and feel it’s completely out of line. MJF owes that family an apology and then some https://t.co/1WTSM8xQ6V

If that wasn’t planned @The_MJF should be fined and must apologize publicly to that kid and his mother. There are limits that cannot be crossed. @TonyKhan @AEW #AEW #AEWRevolution #wrestling #WrestlingCommunity #WrestlingTwitter #LuchaLibre https://t.co/YFvbs3i3A1

I’d demand a check for $1 Million on the spot or I’m suing. You can’t throw drinks on kids. That’s out of hand.

There are concerns that since this spot wasn’t planned, the AEW Champion could get into trouble because of his actions. Moreover, there were rumors of him wanting to join WWE next year, but if this case gets serious, then it would be difficult for MJF to step in a WWE ring.
