MJF is no stranger to turning heads, and one NJPW star wants a chance at the AEW World Champion.
Cross-pollination between New Japan Pro Wrestling and AEW is nothing out of the ordinary, and Jon Moxley is set to make his NJPW return when he faces Great-O-Khan at Power Struggle on November 3rd. O-Khan is already looking past his bout with Moxley, saying that once he takes care of the two-time IWGP United States Champion, he has his sights set on an AEW World Championship match with MJF.
Speaking in a new interview with Tokyo Sports, O-Khan had this to say:
“If it’s me, then when I execute Moxley, AEW should present MJF’s head at the Tokyo Dome. He’s an interesting guy. I will take the AEW World Championship that MJF took from Moxley, and then accept the challenge from the winner of SANADA and Naito.”
All this is assuming that MJF will remain champion by the end of the year, as he has been challenged to a dream match with the AEW World Title on the line.
MJF Will Face Jay White At AEW Full Gear 2023
On AEW programming, Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been embroiled in a feud with former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White. White recently stole Friedman’s Big Burberry Belt, and is holding the title hostage until the champion “earns” it back from him.
The two are officially set to face off in singles action for the belt on November 18th at Full Gear, but that’s not the only Bullet Club Gold member MJF has in his sights.
After a highly controversial segment and then Juice Robinson’s battle royal win last week, Friedman is set to face Robinson for the Dynamite Diamond Ring on the October 25th episode of Dynamite.
