If you want a fantastic professional wrestler who pushes the boundaries of the product, MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman) is your man. We all know how he is infamous for insulting both fans and celebrities. Recently, he did something similar during his promo versus Roderick Strong. And the celebrity he targeted this time was none other than Taylor Swift. This was a daring move on his part, given that he was up for a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. Wait a minute, he’s not up for it; he got it. But how? Isn’t Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend, involved in that movie? Why would he share the screen with MJF?
Confused? No worries, we’ll hook you with some context. Recently, MJF on AEW Dynamite highlighted the everyday routine of a typical white American. The Salt of the Earth claimed that once these people fail, they return home angry. They then shut themselves in their room and cry over their loss. When they’ve stopped sobbing, they put on headphones and listen to a sorrowful Taylor Swift song. This was a major insult to the singer, and many suspected due to this there would be some tension between Swift, Kelce, and MJF.

But it appears that none of these things occurred. It appears that the NFL athlete and his partner understand that most aspects of professional wrestling are done to spice things up. And as we all know, MJF excels at this. The AEW International Champion is now set to appear in Happy Gilmore 2, and reports suggest that his part will be similar to his AEW character. We can see him being really disrespectful throughout which may spice things up. Furthermore, Travis Kelce may also make a terrific cameo appearance.

Obviously, everyone wants to capture the trend in order to gain more views. Washington commanders did something similar lately. After winning their Week 3 game against the Bengals, the team celebrated on their TikTok account. They posted an MJF commercial in which he criticizes Cincinnati and refers to them as little more than “mid.” During AEW Dynamite, on 9/8/21 MJF, speaking about Cincinnati, said ” It’s called Midwest because every single thing in it is mid.”
