10 Most Important Wrestlers In AEW’s History
7. MJF
As AEW continues to develop as the years go by, so does the incomparable Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who may end up being the most important wrestler in the company when all is said and done.
MJF has already started to fulfil the huge promise that he showed early on in his career, as he is now one of the pre-eminent performers inside the ring and on the microphone.
Max has had a number of all-time great feuds in the company against the likes of Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, and Wardlow, which have helped raise him to the level of the next AEW World Champion. The 'Salt of the Earth' is arguably the biggest heel in the business today and has not even held a title in AEW as of yet.
Once he presumably wins the word title MJF could potentially hold the belt for most of 2023 leading up to the bidding war of 2024, which should make for a great championship reign. AEW will of course hope to hold on to the 'Generational Talent,' who could guide the company for years to come.
