Maxwell Jacob Friedman
At All Out, Friedman made his return after a long time away. He wore a mask and was called "The Joker". He won the Casino Ladder match earlier in the night and showed up on the entrance ramp, took off his mask and stared down AEW Champion CM Punk. On Full Gear, Friedman defeated Jon Moxley to become the youngest AEW World Champion. He won after William Regal turned on Moxley and gave Friedman his brass knuckles, which Friedman used to hit Moxley. On the November 30 episode of Dynamite, Friedman turned on Regal, attacking him and sending him to the hospital. Friedman also threw the Championship in the garbage before revealing his own custom Burberry check pattern AEW World Championship.
