The Devil became the AEW World Champion after defeating Jon Moxley for the title at AEW Full Gear last month. Ultimately, the win solidified his status as a true main event talent that people pay tickets to see every week.
While speaking with Sports Illustrated, the AEW World Champion addressed fans complaining that he does not wrestle every week. MJF made it clear that he doesn’t need to wrestle every week like Bryan Danielson and put his body at risk.
”Wrestling fans get upset with me for not wrestling more,” MJF said. “I hear, ‘MJF, you should wrestle more.’ F*ck you; you wrestle. It hurts. I’m not a f*cking mark loser like Bryan Danielson where I’m feigning [sic] to get in the ring every week because I’m a wrestling hipster nerd. You know what I care about?
Making the most amount of money I can in the shortest amount of time possible, and maintaining my mental and physical health. I’m not going to go out and kill my body for people who are fickle.”
MJF to Sports Illustrated
MJF successfully retained his AEW World Championship on AEW Dynamite last week but was immediately chased by Bryan Danielson after the match. It is evident AEW will begin a proper feud with Danielson and MJF.
