Dwayne Johnson’s cousin Roman Reigns is one of the most popular names in WWE. His current gimmick as The Tribal Chief has won the fans over, and made him one of the most over superstars in a long time.

However, recently, Johnson’s close friend, Freddie Prinze Jr. recently made a remark which might shock wrestling fans. Recently during his podcast, he claimed that a 27-year-old AEW wrestler is way better than Roman Reigns.

AEW Champion MJF is one of the most hated heels in the industry and is the current AEW World Champion. Despite being statistically far behind Reigns, Prinze Jr. would claim that MJF is the “gold standard of professional wrestling.”

Freddie Prinze Jr. is good friends with both Dwayne Johnson and MJF. And his friendship with MJF could be one of the reasons for him being in the corner of the AEW wrestler instead of Roman Reigns. MJF is no doubt one of the best in the business, but is he better than Reigns? This is a valid question, since he is yet to achieve a lot of things, although, in his short career, he has reached the top.

His heel work has stood out and already ‘The Salt of the Earth’ has been hailed as one of the best mic workers and is sure on the path to greatness and could be in the conversation of one the best wrestlers currently. As for Roman Reigns to state that he is not even close to what MJF already has may be debatable especially given his recent work.
