MJF On AEW’s Roster: Everybody’s Pushing Each Other To Be The Absolute Best Version Of Ourselves

MJF notes that everybody on the AEW roster is pushing each other to be the absolute best version of themselves.

Over the course of AEW’s life since the company was started in 2019, the AEW roster has changed in many ways, with names coming in and out through the promotions lifespan, leaving them with a multi-talented roster that for many of the talent, is the best it’s been.

While speaking to the New York Post in an interview in the wake of their announcement of Double Or Nothing 2026’s location, MJF spoke of ‘problem children’ who have found their way out the door before discussing how AEW’s roster pushes each other to be the absolute best versions of themselves.

“To put it mildly, I don’t have to name names, it’s not necessary to name names, but problem children tend to have a way of finding their way out the door, and some of those problem children, in my opinion, they thought they were taking a step forward when all they were doing was taking a step laterally or backwards. Everybody’s pushing each other to be the absolute best version of ourselves. I’m pushing Swerve, Swerve’s pushing Hangman, Hangman’s pushing Kenny [Omega], Kenny’s pushing [Kyle] Fletcher, Fletcher’s pushing [Will] Ospreay and so on and so forth. It’s a domino effect. And that’s why our show is so incredible right now. We are all biting on each other’s heels. We all want the spot. We all want the championship. To top it off, we all care deeply about All Elite Wrestling.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, MJF thinks that he is ‘hands down’, the most polarizing wrestler in the industry today. You can read more about that here.
