The Salt of the Earth Shares His Thoughts on AEW’s Stacked Roster

In the aftermath of AEW’s WrestleDream, the wrestling world is still buzzing, especially with the debut of Adam Copeland. Among those sharing their thoughts was none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF, during a media scrum.

MJF didn’t mince words when discussing Copeland’s entry into AEW. He acknowledged Copeland as a “first ballot Hall of Famer” and lauded his prowess in the squared circle. However, MJF was quick to remind everyone that anyone eyeing his top spot in AEW would have a tough challenge ahead. He sarcastically congratulated Tony Khan for the signing, showcasing his signature blend of arrogance and wit.

But MJF’s comments didn’t stop there. He went on to express his pride in being part of what he believes is one of the most formidable wrestling rosters ever assembled. Listing off a who’s who of wrestling talent, including Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, and even himself, MJF emphasized the depth and diversity of AEW’s talent pool. He humorously corrected himself when mentioning Edge, referring to him by his real name, Adam Copeland, after a prompt from Tony Khan.

With such a roster, MJF’s pride in being at the pinnacle of AEW is evident. Yet, his comments also serve as a reminder of the competitive landscape in the promotion, with every talent vying for the top spot.
