AEW Just Proved How Over MJF Is In The Weirdest Way

AEW Just Proved How Over MJF Is In The Weirdest Way

It was MJF losing his cool entirely that pulled everything together, though. Because as much of a heel as he is, he’s still got friends like Shawn Spears helping him every step of the way. That’s a role that Wardlow once had, and it cost him companions in the back. So while MJF and Spears continued to assault him after the ten lashings were up, no one came to his aid. No music hit, and there was no pop for a run-in. He was simply left, beaten and motionless in the middle of the ring as MJF left. It’s Wardlow against the World, and he’s no one to blame but himself for that. It’s compelling storytelling.

Lesser performers would have burned this segment to the ground by overselling or not committing to it enough. It’s a fine line to walk, and it’s a tightrope act that MJF seems to manage perfectly every time he appears in front of AEW crowds. Everything he touches turns to gold, and that Midas touch carries over to the faces he’s tasked with putting over and wrestling. CM Punk doesn’t feel like a championship contender in AEW without his feud with MJF. If not for his work with Friedman, Chris Jericho might not be as relevant on Wednesday nights as he is. And MJF took the ball and ran with it when allowed to toil through a program with Cody Rhodes. The level of showmanship and skill that were on display on Dynamite deserves praise – even if the segment itself probably shouldn’t have worked in the first place.
