MJF On Britt Baker Potentially Joining The Pinnacle: "It Makes Complete Sense"

The Pinnacle might not be looking to recruit a female to their ranks, but MJF understands why people believe that Britt Baker would fit AEW's aspiring power stable.

Speaking with Steel Chair ahead of tonight's Blood & Guts match, MJF said that while holding every AEW Championship may be among The Pinnacle's future targets, his group is more concerned with taking The Inner Circle out at the moment:-

“Right now, our main objective is to get the Inner Circle out of the way, and they do not have a woman in their ranks, so right now, I’m not too concerned with that. Am I saying that, down the line, it might not where it may make sense to add a woman into our group to make sure that we, The Pinnacle, have every single piece of platinum in AEW? I wouldn’t lie to you and tell you that’s not in the cards because it very well might be, but right now, that’s not our focus but absolutely, once we all win gold who’s to say we wouldn’t want a crusade for more by finding a woman that we feel deemed fit enough to join The Pinnacle."

On Baker specifically, MJF had high praise for who he calls "the face of women's wrestling as a whole":-

“I hear about Brit a lot, people are saying they wanted to be in The Pinnacle and, like I said, I’m a very affluent man, I am open to conversations if it makes sense for me economically, but on top of that, I will say this about Brittany, she is clearly not just the face of the women’s division in AEW, but at this point, I think it’s fair to say she’s the face of women’s wrestling as a whole, just like I feel it’s fair to say that I’m the face of men’s professional wrestling as a whole. I get why people keep bringing this up, it makes complete sense.”

Britt is expected to challenge for Hikaru Shida's AEW Women's World Championship imminently, having risen to number one in the company's rankings. MJF, meanwhile, leads The Pinnacle to war against The Inner Circle inside Blood & Guts tonight.
