High praise for the AEW World Champion.
Next up on the docket for MJF is an ROH World Tag Team Title defense alongside Samoa Joe on the 12/27 AEW Dynamite. They’ll be defending the titles against opponents of The Devil character’s choosing. Following that, MJF is heading into an AEW World Title defense against Samoa Joe at Worlds End.
Praise was heaped onto MJF by Ric Flair while Flair was being interviewed by The Wrestling Classic. He stated that the AEW World Champion could be the next Randy Orton.
Well number one, I think he’s (MJF) actually — he comes across as confident in real life as he comes across with his confidence in the ring and he’s got a good interview, he’s got a great look, he worked hard. I think he’s got the confidence in real life that he portrays on TV and I think the future is unlimited for him and he’s really good. He could be the next Randy Orton. That’s about as high a praise as I can give him.
Flair signed a multi-year deal with All Elite Wrestling. AEW President Tony Khan commented on Flair’s deal and said AEW is being paid by Wooooo! Energy for all of Flair’s appearances.
