MJF, the newly crowned AEW International Champion, expressed satisfaction over his victory against former reigning champion Will Ospreay, indicating his triumph with a reference to John Cena.
During the recent episode of AEW Dynamite, a head-to-head battle that stretched over an hour saw MJF defeat Ospreay to secure the much-coveted title. This significant victory showcases MJF’s first championship triumph after his return to the world of wrestling.
MJF took to Twitter to mark Will Ospreay’s championship tenure coming to a definitive close, stating that America now has a champion it can be proud of.
“Will Ospreay’s title tenure has been snapped and terminated for good. America can finally boast a true champion. A straightforward win. #ThankMeLater” – Maxwell Jacob Friedman™️ (@The_MJF) July 18, 2024
This kind of expression bears similarity to John Cena’s speech during WWE Extreme Rules 2011 where he unveiled the news of Osama Bin Laden’s demise in the maiden public disclosure of his killing.
The transition of the title brings an end to the 52 days of Ospreay’s championship reign. He had been holding the championship title since Double or Nothing 2024, a night that also witnessed MJF’s reintroduction to the wrestling game.
