While MJF is the reigning AEW World Champion, fans have not been too happy with his current portrayal on screen and lack of meaningful feuds. Despite this, many are looking forward to the star’s future as world champion.

During the latest Jim Cornette Experience, the former wrestling manager compared Friedman’s habit of running away to Steve Austin’s Mudhole Stomps, which both look bad but work for the character.

MJF notably cut a heated promo on Konosuke Takeshita before the star took on Bryan Danielson, which echoed some statements made by Disco Inferno before the AEW Dynamite. The WCW veteran naturally caught on and addressed Friedman’s comments.

Jim Cornette also criticized the match between Bryan Danielson and Konosuke Takeshita on AEW Dynamite

The American Dragon is currently building up to a feud with MJF to hopefully get a shot at the AEW World Championship. Last week, the veteran had to take on major babyface Konosuke Takeshita in a bout that was praised by fans online.

During the same episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran questioned why Danielson was facing a popular babyface and not a heel to build up his feud.

The American Dragon and MJF will most likely go toe-to-toe at some point, making Danielson the biggest challenge the young world champion will have to face.
