AEW: Each Member Of The Pinnacle Ranked Worst To Best
1. MJF
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is, without a doubt, a future World Heavyweight Champion.
The loud-mouthed wrestling star has already proven himself to be a main event talent, and his position at the head of The Pinnacle is primed to either take him there directly or deliver him the credibility to make it there one day himself.
If you were to condense MJF's best qualities down to a few fine points, you'd likely end up with keywords like arrogant, hilarious, hateable, underhand and intelligent. As a villain, he captures all of these things by mocking his audience and even getting heat outside the wrestling business for bullying fandoms like Dungeons & Dragons.
The decision to place MJF in The Inner Circle was good as it gave him some time to rub shoulders with a great like Chris Jericho, but it was clear that he was busting to get out - as Friedman is too noticeable to be a side role.
Seeing Max take control over The Pinnacle makes so much more sense than having him in The Inner Circle, and it's easy to say that his vibrant promos and character work carry the entire stable here.
Half of the fans hate him, the other half love him, but no one can deny that Maxwell Jacob Friedman been on fire throughout his entire AEW career.
