After making a dramatic return to AEW at Double or Nothing, MJF’s fans eagerly anticipated his next move in the quest for the AEW World Championship. Initially eyeing Will Ospreay, MJF’s plans shifted following Ospreay’s defeat to Swerve Strickland at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view. This unexpected turn forced MJF to reconsider his immediate championship aspirations.
Plotting His Course
With Swerve Strickland’s current momentum, MJF acknowledges the necessity of a careful strategy to reclaim his former AEW World Championship. During a candid interview on “Busted Open Radio,” MJF elaborated on his current mindset:
“I know how to pick my spots. Right now is not the time. I know when the time is. Right now it’s not. Swerve is on a goddamn roll … The guy is locked in. He’s next level right now. Do I want to deal with him at the moment, when he’s 100% and I am still healing from a shoulder injury? Do you think that’s bright? I’m a man that picks my spots. Everyone else in this company is dumb. Everyone in this company works hard. Working hard is for suckers. It’s stupid. I work smart,” declared “The Salt of the Earth.”
Strategic Insights
Despite expressing his dislike for Strickland’s wrestling style and a deeper disdain for Ospreay, MJF emphasized his long-term vision for reclaiming the championship. He asserted that while Strickland currently holds the spotlight, his reign is not indefinite. MJF’s keen observation during the Strickland vs. Ospreay match at Forbidden Door underscored his meticulous approach to scouting potential adversaries.
Looking Ahead
As MJF continues to recuperate from his shoulder injury and strategize his comeback, the wrestling world awaits his calculated next move. With an unwavering confidence in his ability to seize opportunities strategically, MJF’s absence from the immediate title picture serves as a testament to his tactical acumen and unwavering determination.
In a landscape where ambition collides with strategy, MJF stands as a paradigm of calculated patience. While others chase immediate glory through sweat and toil, MJF’s methodical approach promises a future clash of titans that will resonate throughout AEW. As he bides his time, one thing remains certain: MJF’s return to the AEW World Championship scene will be nothing short of legendary.
