MJF makes the claim to be the greatest AEW World Champion in the companies history.
Adam Cole and MJF are scheduled for a big night at AEW All In later this week. First, they will challenge for the Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships on Zero Hour, before main eventing the PPV with the AEW World title on the line.
It will be yet another attempt to take the World Title away from MJF as he nears his AEW contract expiring. With Max teasing constantly that he may make the jump to WWE once his AEW deal expires.
Speaking to Cameron Hawkins of The Ringer, MJF reflected on his reign and place in wrestling.
“No one’s going to like this answer, but the fact of the matter is, I don’t have contemporaries,” MJF states. “There has never been anyone in the history of the sport that has gotten it as fast and has gotten as over as fast and as young as MJF. There have been guys who have gotten television time at a young age, but there [were] holes in their game, and everybody knew it. And those holes needed to be patched up, and it took time. I’m the guy who came onto the scene, and I went from being great to being perfect. Let me explain something to you: I’m over as fuck, and I want you to print that verbatim.”
“When my run is over, I want people to just magnanimously say, ‘No, that’s the best AEW world title run.’ I feel that if after Wembley, I’m still the world champion, that means that I successfully defended my belt against, in my opinion, one of the best wrestlers in the world today, Adam Cole, in front of 80,000 strong. And I think we’re getting to the point now where it’s becoming undeniable that I’m the best AEW world champion of all time.”
MJF
Cole and MJF’s partnership began with the AEW World Tag Team title eliminator tournament, and their friendship has gotten over in a big way with wrestling fans.
We will have to wait and see if Better Than You Baybay can survive the biggest event in AEW’s history.
In a separate interview, MJF revealed who his shoot best friend is.
