Khan highlighted MJF’s significance to AEW, stating, “MJF is a huge draw for AEW and a great wrestler as well. He’s been with AEW since day one and I always knew he had that potential. I always believed MJF could be a great world champion and now he’s doing great at the top. I think MJF is at his best right now in AEW 2026.”
MJF is set to defend his AEW World Championship title against Brody King at the upcoming Grand Slam Australia event on February 14th. Furthermore, MJF has already shared his preference regarding the outcome of the number one contender’s match scheduled for the same show.
