Maxwell Jacob Friedman has skyrocketed to the apex of the wrestling world the past few years, establishing himself firmly as a top guy. AEW was able to retain MJF officially last year, winning the "bidding war of 2024" as he was allegedly set to hit free agency.
At a recent autograph signing, Bully Ray was asked about AEW star MJF and he responded how he is a ‘complete d—.’ MJF was, at one time very recently, considered a hot impending free agent whom WWE wanted badly.
MJF's comments come after an exceptional hourlong match against Will Ospreay at Dynamite 250 on July 17. MJF won the international championship courtesy of the Dynamite diamond ring, getting the three count with two seconds remaining on the clock.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman says he’s back to “save the day” in AEW. The former world champion spoke to SI.com recently about his return at AEW Double or Nothing and his upcoming appearance on tonight’s Dynamite.
SI.com’s Week in Wrestling is published every week and provides beneath the surface coverage of the business of pro wrestling. MJF is back. That was unmistakable the moment his video began to play two weeks ago at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
