#1 MJF vs. Darby Allin should be a major feud for the AEW TNT Championship

MJF recently formed a new faction with FTR, Wardlow, Shawn Spears, and Tully Blanchard on AEW Dynamite. With this solid backup, MJF should have the chance to challenge for a singles title soon.

Although MJF is a young AEW talent, he has already accomplished a lot as a heel. Many fans believe that he will become a world champion down the road. For now, because the current AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega, is a heel, MJF could chase the TNT Championship instead.

Darby Allin and MJF haven't faced each other in a one-on-one match in AEW. Beyond the face vs. heel dynamic, MJF's faction members will most likely play key roles in this potential storyline, too.

Everyone expects MJF to pull off some shenanigans that could reasonably allow him to become the new TNT Champion. Regardless of which star emerges as the winner, this feud could lead to some exciting storyline developments.

Generally speaking, Allin's mysterious persona is also an interesting contrast to MJF's loudmouth gimmick.

If the odds are stacked against the current AEW TNT Champion, Sting could back him up again, adding even more buzz to this feud. The possibilities for MJF and Darby Allin's potential storyline seem endless, which is why it should be explored at some point in AEW.
