Like Roman Reigns is playing the top heel character in WWE, MJF is working as a top heel in AEW. The 'Salt of the Earth' has stayed in character behind the scenes while taking shots at his colleagues and other wrestlers.
During an interview with Rasslin', MJF was asked about Roman Reigns. The AEW heel did not break kayfabe and took a shot right away.
"Roman Reigns lost in the key demographic to Ruby Soho. I think Roman Reigns is a hell of a performer, he really is. I think he's absolutely incredible. Am I better than him on the mic and in the ring? Sure. But I'm not gonna go out of my way and talk about him because I respect him. I respect what he does. I respect the hard work that goes into putting out that product that is WWE," MJF said.

MJF put himself over as a performer before claiming that he respected Reigns as a performer. The AEW star also said is a huge fan of The Tribal Chief.
Will fans watch MJF take on Roman Reigns? It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in a battle between the top heels.
