AEW Takeaways: Two babyfaces poised to win title matches
MJF is totally losing, right?
The Jurassic Express suffered a loss to the Best Friends, thanks to a little interference from MJF. He took out Jungle Boy soon after Rey Fenix blasted Orange Cassidy on the stage with an absolutely hellacious flying kick. (Seriously, does that also count as attempted murder?)
Jungle Boy then received words of warning from MJF later that night when the odious heel defeated Lee Johnson. MJF was absolutely toying with his still-winless opponent, all the while MJF continued his streak of not being pinned or submitted. Oh, and he signed a contract to face Marko Stunt next week on AEW Dynamite.
There’s no doubt that MJF’s arrogance is getting the best of him, and he’s totally letting his guard down. The more MJF messes with Jungle Boy, the more it looks like he will lose at Double or Nothing in what should be the show’s biggest upset.
Jungle Boy has all the tools to be a star in AEW one day, as his heart-warming match with then-AEW World Champion Chris Jericho showed us. He’s been taking in advice from Cody Rhodes on how to beat MJF, and it looks like the 22-year-old could be the one to finally humble the 24-year-old in a battle of future stars at DoN.
