MJF urges everyone who joins AEW must "respect" popular duo
AEW American Champion MJF has an important advice for the stars who are willing to join the Jacksonville-based promotion in the future. Friedman stated that he wants them to respect The Young Bucks.
The popular duo of Nicholas and Matthew Jackson is one of the best tag teams in professional wrestling. They have won titles all around the globe and are the current AEW World Tag Team Champion. The Young Bucks are also the EVPs of All Elite Wrestling and have some creative input into their storylines. They recently signed a new contract with the company which allows them to follow a relaxed schedule.
In a recent interview with WrestleTalk, MJF expressed his gratitude for The Bucks and explained how the company wouldn't exist without them. He wants to see all the newcomers and the fans show respect to Nicholas and Matthew Jackson.
“They are innovators. The company does not exist without them. None of that happens without Matt and Nick Jackson. If new people come into my company, they should be showing them that respect that they earned and deserved. I feel the fans should be showing them that respect they earned and deserve.”
MJF advises Shane McMahon to stay away from AEW
Shane McMahon's name became a huge topic recently after a photograph of him and AEW CEO Tony Khan got leaked on social media. There have been rumors about Shane O'Mac's potential All Elite Wrestling debut, however, both Tony and Shane haven't said much on the topic.
In his interview with WrestleTalk, MJF spoke about the possibility of The Prodigal Son's arrival in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Friedman advised McMahon to stay away for his health and joked about how the 54-year-old tore his quad at WrestleMania 39.
“Please stay away. For his health. Stay away from me. I thought it was super impressive how easily he tore his quad. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Let’s hope that’s not in every single facet of his life.”
AEW All In is set to take place on August 25th. It will be interesting to see if Tony Khan has booked Shane McMahon's possible debut for the Wembley show.
