During the AEW Revolution Media Scrum, MJF and Tony Khan commented on a water-throwing incident at the pay-per-view.
At one point during the 60-Minute Iron Man Match, MJF grabbed some water and threw it at a young kid in the crowd.
During the AEW Revolution post-show media scrum, MJF and AEW CEO Tony Khan were both asked about the incident and if there would be consequences. MJF said that the kid looked thirsty. Khan then said he and MJF had a serious conversation, and that MJF did not act like a champion. Khan went on to say that he made it clear the fan, who was called Titus, was a real pro about it. Khan concluded by saying that Titus would be at AEW Dynamite on March 8, which takes place at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, the kid was not a plant and was very upset after the incident took place. Will Washington got the fan an Acclaimed foam finger and that some of the AEW staff talked to him to smooth over the situation. It was also said Amanda Huber sat with the child in the aftermath of the water-throwing spot.

MJF: Kid looked thirsty.
Tony Khan: We had a conversation before we came up here. We had a serious conversation, and I mean that, it’s not to be taken lightly. The young man, TItus, was a real pro about it. We’ll see Titus again in AEW. I believe he’s coming to Sacramento. I was just with him and he was a real champ about it. The champion didn’t act like a champion there. Titus was great.
MJF: Salt of the earth, that Titus. Real worried about him.
MJF retained the AEW World Championship over Bryan Danielson. The match went to Sudden Death, and MJF won by submission victory with the LeBell Lock after he hit Danielson with an oxygen tank when the referee was distracted.
