Cedric Alexander, a former WWE star and ex-member of Heart Business, recently voiced his doubts about Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), who has joined AEW’s Heart Syndicate. Following much speculation, MJF was officially welcomed into the group by Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP. He immediately made an impact by helping Lashley and Benjamin successfully defend the AEW World Tag Team titles at Double or Nothing.
Alexander, who became a free agent after his WWE release in February 2025, shared his initial reaction to the group’s formation, reflecting on MVP’s realization of AEW’s potential and Shelton Benjamin’s involvement. However, his excitement waned with MJF’s inclusion, as Alexander saw MJF as someone trying to carve out his own path. He warned of potential drama, predicting that MJF, known for his disruptive antics, would eventually get bored and create chaos. Despite this, MVP appears to have some level of trust in him.
Fan Take: This development is significant for AEW fans because MJF’s unpredictable nature could either shake up or reinvigorate the Heart Syndicate, keeping storylines fresh and exciting. His presence adds a layer of intrigue and potential conflict that could elevate the group’s prominence within AEW.
