Max did a new interview released yesterday where he revealed that the Dynamite Diamond Ring isn't a ring you have to win every year, like a belt, it's actually a ring you win each year and then get to keep forever. Which explains why he still had the ring at the World's End match, when I was wondering if he was a time traveller, or had stolen it back. But it's also the funniest retcon I've ever heard. Tony Khan produces a new diamond encrusted ring every year for the contest. Max being a 6x winner (by my count) means he actually has 6 of them. Also that Bandido gets to keep that ring forever, even if he doesn't win again, I guess.
Max should come out wearing all 6 of them. He should try to win a match using the DDR, get caught and have it taken away from him, and then just pull another one out. He should come out with his trunks BULGING with diamonds, swearing innocence to the ref.
Something I'm wondering is if we're gonna get the Dynamite Diamond Ring thing again soon or not because it's kinda a tradition but MJF is busy and we do have a loooooooot of accolades in AEW so I'd understand if they quietly retired the yearly fight for the ring.
Though mainly I want it because, if it doesn't overlap with the Continental Classic, I would kill for an excuse for Kyle and MJF to fight. And maybe for Kyle to take it just to see what happens plus he's earned it.

Summary: Max confessed his feelings for Y/n
Part 1 MJF Masterlist Main Masterlist
Ever since that night I coudn’t stop thinking about the way I felt for Y/n. Why was I feeling so emotional? This wasn’t like me. That post orgasm clarity hit me a bit too hard, I didn’t like it. Y/n knew something was wrong, she tried to ask me about it but I just pushed her away. Two weeks had passed since that night and the two of us hadn’t spoken since. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t know what to say. I was scared I would say something stupid but saying nothing was worse.
During those two weeks the both of us were finally able to take sometime off after many weeks on the road. My week off was supposed to be relaxing, I was supposed to recover and take care of myself yet it was filled with anxiety. Was I in love with Y/n? I knew I was but the two of us would never work, we were polar opposites. But on the other hand we did sleep together and during that whole incident we didn’t seem too difftent. Sure Y/n was loved by all and I was hated but we did share some similarities. We both loved what we did for work, we were the biggest stars in AEW. In a way we were both liked, just in different ways. But did Y/n really want someone like me? Did she really want to go out with a scum bag? She deserved someone better than that. I know if I wanted to atleast stand a chance with Y/n I would have to make some changes, changes only she would see. So, I promised myself I would talk to her after Dynamite and explain everything.

As I knocked on the door of Y/n’s private lockeroom I wondered if I was doing the right thing. I was scared. Y/n opened the door and I felt my jaw drop, she looked gorgeous. Her hair was curled and her makeup accentuated her features perfectly. She wore a little black dress and heels. She was beautuful. “Can I help you?” Y/n asked, rather standoffish. “Can I come in?” I asked. I could see her thinking about whether or not she would let me in before ushring me to enter the room. “I got these for you” I said as I handed Y/n a bouquet of daffodils. “Thanks” was all she said. I knew I fucked up. “You look beau-” “You really have some nerves to come in here right before I have a contract signing” Y/n said, cutting me off. “I really don’t know what I was thinking, I should have known you only were using me to get your dick wet” Y/n spat “I’m such an idiot to think you actually cared about me. I thought we were friends Max. How long was this plan of yours? You acted all kind for months just to get with me and then ghost me? I thought we shared something special, Max” I didn’t know what to say, I knew I would fuck this up.
“Y/n, I wanted to come here and apologize. I really like you, I was scared I would say something stupid and mess this up but by saying nothing made things worse. The truth is I felt something that night, something I had never felt before. I’m sorry that I made you feel as if I was only using you for sex but I promise you I want so much more than that.” I was nervous, I was word vomiting. Y/n wasn’t buying what I was selling, I knew I would take more to convince her I genuinely wanted to be more than just friends.
“The truth is Y/n, I’m scared. I’m terrified. Terrified about the feelings I have for you. Look at us, we are polar opposites, we would never work but I would do anything for us to work. Remember when you asked me that night if I was okay and I said I needed air?” “Yes, I remember” “Well, in that moment I relised I was in love with you. I love you Y/n, I’ve never felt this way about anybody before but there is just something about you that drives me insane. I know I’m a scumbag and you deserve someone better than me but I’m willing to change if it means I can atlest have a chance with you”
I could see Y/n’s features soffen, she was conflicted. “Can you give me another chance? I promise it will be worth it” “It better be worth it” I really hope I don’t fuck this up.
Thanks to the He Is Out! blog for posting these images (and more) of this love scene between Daniel Garcia and MJF following Garcia's heartbreaking loss to Will Ospreay. We see MJF trying to console his crestfallen buddy by helping him to his feet and giving him a big hug. That's what Bro's do! (I'd sure cheer up if MJF loved on me like that!)
But then the Dickhead Heel pulls a Dickhead Heel move:
Why MJF? WHY!?! Garcia is doomed if MJF strikes him with his invincible Dynamite Diamond Ring!
Our poor young hero has been busted wide open! He is forced to wear the humiliating Crimson Mask!
Can things get any worse for our beloved Daniel Garcia??
Rewatching the Max and Don promo from tonight, as Andrade came up Max was saying "that's my fifth favourite-" pointing to the ring. Presumably of the six he has 😭
