MJF has reached the top tier of professional wrestling since he is incredibly gifted. The AEW star’s character work has provided us with yet another example of excellence. AEW has put the pedal to the metal for their preparations for their next major event, All In, which will take place in London. The event is expected to feature every big talent in the promotion. MJF will undoubtedly compete in a major match during the event, and it appears that his opponent has already been determined by AEW.

MJF and Adam Cole have some heat with each other, and even though they are both heels at the moment, it appears that AEW wants to set the competitors on a collision course. Recently, an anticipatory post for this bout came to light which offered an interesting piece of trivia. The post suggested that after turning heel, both wrestlers donned similar outfits.

Although both wrestlers don jackets for their respective characters’ clothing, it appears that the shirt below invokes a similarity. Since embracing the dark side, both AEW stars have worn black shirts or T-shirts.

The Florida-based wrestling promotion may have planted the seeds of this similarity to further the feud between the two former friends. With MJF just returning from injury, the AEW faithful must have thought the former AEW World champion would return as a face to exact revenge. However, that has not been the case. Despite implementing an unpopular opinion, MJF’s heel turn has become a boon for the promotion.

MJF reverting to his heel persona has benefited AEW

So far, we’ve seen MJF perform admirably as a heel. So fans expected him to undertake a babyface role as he looked to exact vengeance on Adam Cole, who stabbed him in the back at Worlds End. Nevertheless, his comeback didn’t sync with these thoughts as he once again donned the familiar role of a heel. He has cemented his spot as a top star seamlessly upon his comeback to the promotion. His impending feuds, which have been hyped by AEW have received rave reviews from the audience. Furthermore, fans are overjoyed to see him in action at a major event after such a lengthy absence.

If you compare the viewership of the company’s weekly program, you can see that before MJF’s comeback, the show had an average viewership of 700 thousand views per week, but once The Salt of the Earth returned, it rose to a stunning 800 thousand views per week. After his return, he started dressing differently, which has gotten a lot of attention from wrestling fans. The similarities between MJF and Cole’s attire only sparked talks of a potential match at All In. For now, MJF will have to focus on overcoming Will Ospreay for the International title on the 250th episode of Dynamite next. Nevertheless, only time will showcase the long-term creative plans that await the AEW star.
