MJF says no other top performer in wrestling can match him bell-to-bell, pointing to his position as match number twelve on the Forbidden Door card as proof he can close a show regardless of placement.
MJF spoke to Justin Barrasso.
I was match number fcking twelve. Twelve. You think that happens to other fcking top guys in this industry? No. But other top guys in this industry aren’t as good as I am bell-to-bell, so they can’t handle it. They can barely handle being the main event after three matches on a card. I’m MJF. Ain’t nobody going to be able to follow me, ain’t nobody going to be able to top me, so I look at it as a challenge. Would it be nice if my boss had a 10-match card instead? Or an eight-match card? Yes, that would be f*cking lovely. But at the end of the day, I knew why everybody bought a ticket. They bought a ticket to see MJF, amongst other stars, yes, but they wanted to see me get my head shaved. That’s not ever happening. So it made it even sweeter to pocket their money and crush their hopes and dreams.
MJF retained the AEW World Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, appearing twelfth on a packed card at SAP Center in San Jose. He is next scheduled to defend the title against Kenny Omega on the Beach Break edition of Dynamite. Omega is barred from future title shots if he loses.
