Maxwell Jacob Friedman discusses his AEW World Title reign.
Back at AEW Full Gear 2022, MJF became the AEW World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Jon Moxley with the assistance of William Regal, who passed him brass knuckles.
MJF is now at nearly 300 days as AEW World Champion, and is scheduled to defend the title in the main event of AEW All In this weekend.
During a Town Hall interview with David LaGreca for Busted Open, MJF was asked to name the number one moment of his entire career with the champ stating it was when he became All Elite Wrestling World Champion at Full Gear.
“This [title] is what you work for your whole life, so I’d say winning this in the Prudential Center. It’s what you literally work for your entire life. There’s been so many incredible moments, don’t get me wrong. I’ve had a Hall of Fame career, and I’m only 27. But yeah, that night,”
“I think we’re at almost 277 days, this reign. I feel that the world title was beginning to become a little shaky. There was some weirdness going on, and I remember just telling everyone in that press conference, ‘This isn’t gonna be shaky. This is going to be the grandest prize of them all.’ That is exactly what I’ve done, and I am very proud of that. That means more to me than anything I’ve done,”
“Everything. This is what you work your whole life for as an athlete, this is what you dream about as a kid. The word is everything. What really means also everything to me, from a future goal standpoint, is I wanna go down as people universally agreeing that this this is the best AEW World Title reign. That is my goal. That’s a really big goal of my mine, among the many that I have. I feel that I’m getting pretty damn fucking close to making that happen,”
MJF
Adam Cole and MJF are scheduled for a big night at AEW All In later this week. First, they will challenge for the Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships on Zero Hour, before main eventing the PPV with the AEW World title on the line.
