The pandemic presented a snag for many stars of All Elite Wrestling in 2020. Maxwell Jacob Friedman was just one of many who seemed on the brink of superstardom but had to take on a diminished role due to the circumstances. However, Friedman used his victory over Jungle Boy at Double Or Nothing 2020 and an impressive win-loss record to claim the top spot in the rankings.
With the AEW World Championship in sight, MJF proclaimed himself the rightful owner of the top prize. In doing so, he held a podium speech to let the fans know that they deserve better. This promo opened many eyes to the potential of Friedman as the top heel of the company.
There was no denying after this promo that AEW saw Maxwell as a future headliner. The speech set the stage for MJF to challenge for the title in his first pay-per-view main event against Jon Moxley at AEW All Out 2020.
Although he lost, this program solidified what was to come. It all started with this signature promo.
