MJF Says Other Top Stars Can’t Match Him In-Ring During Third AEW Title Reign

MJF has never been shy about his opinion of himself, and in comments made on Wednesday, July 8, the three-time AEW World Champion doubled down on that reputation — claiming that the other top performers in professional wrestling simply aren’t as skilled as he is when the bell rings.

The sentiment is classic MJF: confrontational, self-aggrandizing, and delivered with the kind of conviction that has made him one of the most polarizing figures in the industry over the past several years. Whether fans love him or despise him, few argue against the substance of his in-ring output. Since breaking through in AEW, he has built a résumé that includes multiple world title reigns and high-profile matches against some of the best wrestlers working today.

Now in his third run with the AEW World Championship, MJF continues to position himself as the measuring stick for the entire business — not just within AEW, but across the broader wrestling landscape. His argument, as blunt as ever, is that the top names elsewhere simply can’t keep up with him on a pure wrestling level.

It’s a bold declaration, but MJF has made a career out of backing up his words. With the AEW World Title around his waist again, he’s in as strong a position as ever to make that case inside the ring.
