MJF Says AEW’s Main Event Scene Is its Most Competitive Ever, Talks Hangman Page Rivalry

MJF has no shortage of potential challengers for his World Title, describing the AEW main event scene as in its most competitive state ever. MJF has a number of potential challenges for his so-called “Triple B” with Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, Brody King and others all gunning for his title in recent weeks. There are also several stars on the verge of hitting the main event that could be challenging soon.

But before all of that, MJF has to defend his title against Hangman Page at AEW Revolution. Revolution is the site of some of MJF’s most memorable matches, and he spoke with Yahoo! Uncrowned about the current title picture and his longstanding rivalry with Page. You can see the highlights below:

On AEW’s Main Event Scene:

“This is the most competitive the top of the card has ever been in the history of our seven-year-old promotion. You have me, ‘Hangman,’ Swerve, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe, Andrade El Idolo. Now you’ve got Brody King, who just popped up there and he fits like a glove, whether I want to admit it or not. You’ve got your Kyle Fletchers of the world, who are chomping at the bit, and your [Konosuke] Takeshitas, who are chomping at the bit. I mean, the list goes on and on — and that’s the scary part.”

On His Rivalry With Page:

“I get frustrated because I hate admitting that we’re similar in any way, shape, or form. [But] we are both the two most driven men in All Elite Wrestling by a wide margin. Now, that is not to take away from the talents of other men who I mentioned earlier. But as far as two individuals who are willing to do literally whatever it takes to be the best, he’s the only person that I feel is in my category. But the only reason he won that award last year, and I didn’t, is because I was busy filming the most streamed comedy of all time. Next question.”

On Revolution Being His Signature Event:

“When you think of Revolution, you think of the Dog Collar match. You think of the Ironman match. I think after this match, you will think of this specific Texas Deathmatch, because everyone is going into it thinking this is Hangman’s match. People think I’m scared. I’m not scared. Would I have much preferred for this to have been a normal professional wrestling match because this is supposed to be a professional wrestling company? Yes, of course. But what people seem to forget about me constantly … if you put me in a situation where my back is against the wall, I will do literally anything under the sun that is possible for me to come out with a victory. Anything.

“There is nothing off the table for me. Morality is only for the foolish. Not if you want to go down as the greatest of all time. I think the statement that’s going to be made [Sunday] is this: MJF is going to rule the world of professional wrestling for the next 20 to 30 years.”
