Where Are They Now? - EVERY Wrestler On The FIRST EVER AEW Dynamite

17. MJF

The Elite
AEW

Maxwell Jacob Friedman was destined to be one of the industry's top stars the second he strolled into Being The Elite, let alone after AEW provided the mainstream stage.

'The Salt Of The Earth' has rarely been out of top angles and stories since, and in the three months he was gone, he was the talk of the industry by virtue of his absence. Dream programme with CM Punk along the way reflective of perhaps AEW's best ever work...until MJF's next ascent.
