MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole at AEW All In 2023 on Sunday, August 27, at Wembley Stadium in London.
In the opening pre-show match, Cole and MJF will challenge Aussie Open for the ROH World Tag Team Championships.
On a recent edition of his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. shared his thoughts on the current storyline between MJF and Cole storyline, noting that Cole potentially turning heel on MJF could do wonders for AEW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Adam Cole possibly turning on MJF: “But I’m wondering if we’ve had this story all wrong, and the end of this story is Adam Cole turning heel on Max, and after the segment last week, I feel like that’s the direction it’s going to go — and not because of the Roderick Strong stuff, which is really fun, when he called him a bland bi*ch, and Roderick Strong’s like, ‘I’m not a bland bi*ch.’ That was great, dude. He oversold the sh*t out of it.”
On why an Adam Cole heel turn makes sense: “But, anyway, they’re talking about Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions, and Adam Cole is selling him hard, ‘Yo, man, we could do this. We’re going to have two matches on one night at Wembley freaking stadium. He’s selling him hard, and Max is like, ‘Dude, what are you talking about? Two matches,’ and he’s like, ‘Let’s do it, let’s do it.’ The only reason — ’cause him wanting to have these titles ’cause he’s never had ’em is bulls*t storyline-wise. I think he’s doing it to tire Max out, I think you’re going to Max be the one that gets the beatdown, and Adam Cole be the heater.”
