MJF’s Mom Is Proud of Him Following Dynamite Promo, Other Wrestling Personalities React

MJF cut an emotional promo on AEW Dynamite last night, talking about his rough childhood and how he felt betrayed when CM Punk left wrestling in 2014. He noted that he had ADHD growing up and was bullied because he was Jewish, but looked up to CM Punk and that helped him be who he is today.

In a post on Twitter, MJF’s mom Nina spoke about how proud she was of him. She normally is like the rest of the wrestling world in not caring for her son’s behavior.

She wrote: “Wowww Max. I started to lose hope that you would ever be a decent human being again! I am very proud of you for last night. You reminded every kid out there, that they can be anything they set their mind to! Today…I am a proud Mom!”

MJF & I have one thing in common.

Everything we do in our life is based in spite.#aew

What CM Punk and MJF did tonight was one of my favorite moments in wrestling. Period.

That deep promo from MJF that he me really thinking and hanging on to every word.

CM Punk coming out asking him if it was real, MJF teary eyed.

Loved it all. 💯💯💯#AEWDynamite
