Notorious AEW wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman is in hot water again.

Better known by his ring-name MJF, the AEW world champion is renowned for his beguiling yet unpredictable promos that have proven him become one of the greatest mic spitters in the business today.

But that air of unpredictability caused a scene Sunday, when he squirted an unsuspecting child with water at AEW Revolution — a pay-per-view show filmed at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Reporters suggested the child was not a plant but indeed just an unsuspecting fan.

Sean Ross Sapp of the wrestling website Fightful said wrestler and manager William Regal comforted the child with "an Acclaimed foam finger," as the kid "was very upset."

The incident overshadowed the event itself with MJF defeating Bryan Danielson 4-3 in a 60-minute Iron man match for the AEW title.

AEW President Tony Khan and MJF both addressed the incident to reporters at a post-event press conference.

While MJF said he squirted the child because the "kid looked thirsty," Khan was far more apologetic.

Khan said he and MJF had "a serious conversation and it's not to be taken lightly.

"The young man, Titus, was a real pro about it, and we'll see Titus here again in AEW. I was just with him, and he was a real champ about it, and the champion didn't act like a champion there. I think Titus was great."

AEW airs Wednesdays with its Dynamite brand, and on Fridays with its Rampage offering.
