AEW superstar Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF, delivered an emotional and vulnerable promo on the 200th episode of AEW Dynamite. Opening up about his struggles with attention deficit disorder and rejection sensitive disorder, MJF shared the reasons behind his abrasive personality and scumbag persona.
In a heartfelt moment, MJF expressed how being a jerk and making people hate him was easy, but being vulnerable was hard. He revealed that he had witnessed the fans accepting him for who he is, and he is now ready to embrace his scumbag character fully. MJF credited his tag team partner and best friend, Adam Cole, for helping him on this journey of self-discovery.
Adam Cole joined MJF in the ring, expressing his admiration for his friend’s growth. Cole acknowledged MJF’s talent as one of the best wrestlers in the world but emphasized that he was even more proud of him for becoming a good person. The bond between the two wrestlers was evident as they found common ground and supported each other.
However, MJF had a surprise for Cole. Despite Cole promising him a shot at the AEW World title after their match against FTR, MJF decided that Cole deserved more than just any match. He declared that Cole deserved “THE MATCH” – a World title shot in the main event of All In at London’s Wembley Stadium!
This announcement raises questions about the future of their friendship. Cole’s previous partnership with Roderick Strong fell apart, leading to Strong aligning himself with ROH’s The Kingdom. Will Cole and MJF’s friendship withstand the pressure of competing against each other for the ultimate prize?
As fans eagerly await the outcome of this storyline, they can also look forward to other exciting events in August. One notable event is CM Punk’s revelation of the Real World title, which has sparked intrigue and speculation among wrestling enthusiasts.
