MJF has recently shared his thoughts on the newest signing of AEW, Adam Copeland, also known as Edge.
During a post-AEW WrestleDream scrum, MJF expressed his belief that Copeland has joined AEW to challenge his position within the promotion. However, he made it clear that he intends to hold on to his AEW World Championship for a significant amount of time.
In a somewhat backhanded compliment, MJF also congratulated AEW President Tony Khan on signing The Rated-R Superstar. While acknowledging Copeland’s impressive career and status as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he confidently asserted that he will not relinquish his spot on top of the AEW roster.
I think he’s another guy that is coming into my company that wants my spot. And he’s got another f*cking thing coming if he thinks he can take it. Great signing, though. Good job, Tony [Khan], I’m proud of you. But in all sincerity, a first-ballot Hall of Famer and an incredible professional wrestler.
He further praised the overall talent and depth of the current AEW roster, considering it one of the best in the history of professional wrestling. In his passionate declaration, he mentioned notable names such as Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Christian Cage, Malakai Black, Miro, and many others.
I think bell-to-bell, right now, we have one of the best professional wrestling rosters ever in the history of the sport. “It’s f*cking insane — MJF, Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay [when he’s around], Darby Allin, Christian Cage, Edge [proceeds to call him Adam Copeland after Tony Khan corrects him], Malakai Black, Miro, Will Hobbs, Ricky Starks, Claudio Castagnoli, Eddie Kingston … and I’m not even … it’s messed up [how good the roster is]. Like I said, again, I couldn’t be prouder to be at the top of the mountain when you have a roster like this.
