10 Wrestlers Who Could Win Their First World Title In 2021
4. MJF
MJF is destined to become the biggest heel in AEW, if he isn't already. The Salt of the Earth is all set to dominate pro wrestling for the next couple of decades, and he is more than likely going to be spend much of that time with the AEW World Championship around his waist. Of course, Maxwell Jacob Friedman could just as easily dominate the wrestling world without the title, but at least one run is arguably the biggest inevitability in the sport today.
Kenny Omega is the current AEW World Champion, and while the company hasn't shied away from heel vs. heel matches in the past, it is unlikely that a major title change will come about in such circumstances, not yet anyway. If Omega is going to be positioned as AEW's big bad then the promotion will need a hero to dethrone The Cleaner, and a hero is something that MJF should never ever be.
This guy is the ultimate villain, after all. Whoever dethrones Omega, expect them to drop that golden beauty to MJF, and watch AEW's ratings go through the roof as a result.
