Diamond Sheik Discusses Creating Third Dynamite Diamond Ring, Says First Two Wer

[Liz]

In 2019, AEW introduced the Dynamite Diamond Ring. The ring was awarded to the individual who won a battle royal and then won a singles match against the co-winner of the battle royal.

For three straight years, MJF has won the Dynamite Diamond Ring and has utilized the ring in other matches and segments during his AEW run. It was infamously used in his matches with CM Punk at the beginning of the year.

Diamond Sheik is a pro wrestling and jeweler, serving as CEO of Luxe. He works with rappers and athletes to create custom pieces. For AEW, he created the third version of the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

"MJF and I are very close as far as our personal relationship goes. I made that Dynamite Diamond ring and it was the third iteration of the ring. I don't like to bury anybody, but whoever did the first two did a shitty job and it was a horrible ring. The third ring blows it out of the water. It's valued at $125,000. All real diamonds, all real gold. There is a video of me diamond testing it, with a legitimate diamond tester mind you, not one of the fake ones that all these Instagram influencers like to use in the middle of a mall. It's a real diamond tester. Made that for MJF, he loved it so much, he had the ring for around a month, pulls me to the side, and goes, 'Hey man, I want you to make an engagement ring for me.' That's two rings I've made that MJF is in possession of. He's good to me. I don't know if I can say he's a good dude because he's not everybody's cup of tea. Definitely salt of the earth as far as I'm concerned," Diamond Sheik told Jeremy Lambert and Stephen Jensen on The Spotlight.

He continued by saying, "It was my idea, I pitched it to Cody (Rhodes). Cody was like, 'Can you do that in 15 days?' It was at a Dark taping in Orlando that I pitched it to him. 'We're 15 days out from Winter is Coming, can you do it in that time?' I said, 'Hell yeah I can do it, I'm the best there is. Don't even worry about it.' We got the contract made."

MJF won his third Dynamite Diamond Ring at AEW Winter is Coming 2021 when he defeated Dante Martin.

When asked if he had been contacted to make the fourth ring, Sheik replied, "I'm sure I will be soon. I don't know if they're going to do it again at Winter is Coming, but that's around the corner and they know that I do good work."

AEW Winter is Coming 2022 is scheduled for December 14.

When Diamond Sheik isn't creating custom jewelry, he's in the ring and defending his Diamond Championship. He is scheduled to defend the title against Carlie Bravo on October 16 at Championship District Wrestling. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
