The brand new AEW International Champion MJF recently made a huge claim after his major victory at Dynamite 250. The Salt of the Earth recently returned to TV after a long hiatus.
Last night at AEW Dynamite's 250th episode, MJF and Will Ospreay went to war for the AEW International Championship. After a hard-fought battle, The Devil managed to defeat Ospreay by smashing him with the Dynamite Ring.
In his recent X (formerly Twitter) post, MJF claimed that he's the greatest wrestler on earth and seemingly threw a jab at the rest of the All Elite locker room.
"The greatest wrestler on god’s green earth. Without breaking a sweat!"
Bully Ray heaps praise on the new AEW International Champion MJF
WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray is a huge fan of the man who dethroned Will Ospreay to capture the International Championship at last night's Dynamite. Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, the veteran praised The Devil and stated that finds new ways to leave a great impression on him. Ray also spoke about the overconfidence that MJF possesses and explained how every wrestler has it in the early phases of their career.
"Max finds new ways to impress me every single time I go out there. You've heard me speak praise about Max and I've come across other veterans in the business who say, 'Max, the kid is overrated.' I say, 'No, he is not.' He is not overrated. He might be a little pompous, he might have a chip on his shoulder. He might have had a little bit of a big head early on in his career but every wrestler goes through it," said Ray.
It was surprising to see Will Ospreay lose the International Championship before the All-In Pay-Per-View in London. We will have to wait and see what the company has in store for The Aerial Assassin at the show.
