WWE Hall of Fame inductee John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield has expressed his endorsement for MJF, whom he thinks is suitably representative of America.
As the holder of the AEW American Championship, MJF has made a name for himself as a nationalistic heel, criticising nations including Mexico and the United Kingdom.
MJF and JBL shared a mutual appreciation for each other via Twitter. JBL, a former WWE World Champion himself, had praise to lavish on the rising AEW frontliner.
In a Twitter post, JBL expressed his admiration for MJF saying, “Proud to wholeheartedly support this True American Hero. The world is lucky to have MJF.” He posted this on August 15, 2024.
In the subsequent wrestling event, MJF is slated to defend his AEW American Championship against challenger Will Ospreay. This high-stakes face-off will occur at AEW All In: London 2024 later in the month.
