MJF added they say keep your friends close and enemies closer. He persuaded Tyson to turn on Jericho, his long-time rival. But Mike Tyson had no interest in what MJF was saying.
Instead, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ was just waiting for MJF to make a wrong move so he could pounce on him.
Is @The_MJF trying to gain a competitive advantage for #ThePinnacle, ahead of tonight’s match between @DaxFTR & @IAmJericho with @miketyson as the Special Ringside Enforcer?

MJF gave it his all to persuade Tyson, but ‘Iron‘ seemed unfazed. MJF used the final trick in his bag. He pulled out a blank check and asked Tyson to think hard about it.
Tyson took the check, tore it, and then chewed it out, sending a loud and clear message to MJF and The Pinnacle that he wasn’t a snitch.
It was a fun segment between MJF and Mike Tyson. Maxwell looked like a million bucks as a heel in front of ‘Iron’ Mike, and his heel dynamics shined brightly with Tyson as the babyface.
However, Tyson sounded like a render from the Grand Theft Auto games whenever he spoke. Not that it was bad; it’s just that we’re not used to Tyson cutting promos.
