Jim Ross Was Surprised MJF Didn’t Turn Heel Again At AEW All In

AEW All In 2023 went off the air with MJF and Adam Cole celebrating together in the ring, a finish that surprised AEW commentator Jim Ross.

In the main event of the show, MJF retained the AEW World Championship against Cole and the pair were able to remain the best of friends.

On his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross said he was surprised that MJF was able to not turn heel on his fellow ROH World Tag Team Champion. He said,

“That surprised me a little bit, as a matter of fact, in the way he retained. I thought MJF would go back to the villain side. I thought he would turn heel again … So that surprised me that that did not occur. But they did tell a great story.

“I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and MJF to hit him with a nut shot or something like that. It never came, which I think is a mark of good booking, a little offspeed pitch there. So those two delivered, and here’s the other thing folks you have to think about, how great this match was. We’re all bragging on it, we’re all excited about it, but it was the last thing of the night. They followed everything. So I think those two guys deserve a big pat on the back and any kind of praise that we could heap upon them, we should.”
