Adam Cole puts over his brochacho.
MJF has been the world champion of AEW since winning it from Jon Moxley on November 19, 2022, at Full Gear. Since then he has successfully defended it against Ricky Starks, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and Jack Perry before beginning a feud in June with Adam Cole.
On the July 5 episode of Dynamite, MJF and Cole were teamed together to participate in a tournament to receive an AEW World Tag Team Championship match on the July 29, 2023, episode of Collision. They won the tournament, defeating Daniel Garcia and Guevara in the finals before losing to FTR for the AEW Tag Team championships.
Speaking at the AEW All Out media scrum, Cole was asked about MJF’s leadership in AEW.
“Max is certainly a leader. Max is eats, sleeps, and breathes pro wrestling, for sure. He’s been in a positon where he’s been in AEW from the very start. He loves AEW with his whole entire heart and he is so proud of the product we produce, he’s very proud of the locker room. Max is a guy who leads by example. He is someone that the entire locker room can look up to in a lot of ways, just based on how passionate he is about the company and about wanting whatever he is involved in to be the best that it possibly can be. He’s been an excellent leader,”

On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Max got into an intense brawl with Samoa Joe that almost ended in MJF eating a Muscle Buster.
Thankfully, Cole made the save for his tag team partner.
