Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been seen as one of the best promo deliverers in All Elite Wrestling over the past few months, but while MJF has already made it clear that he's the future of AEW, his past also lies in WWE.

Interestingly, Friedman applied for WWE's return of Tough Enough back in 2015 when the company decided to revamp the historic show and have it air solely on the WWE Network. Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Chelsea Green, and Velveteen Dream are all those who remain in WWE who were part of the show since WWE has already released the two winners of the tournament, Sara Lee and Josh Bredi.

Friedman wasn't given a place as part of the show, but he did later appear on WWE TV as part of Samoa Joe's entrance at Takeover Brooklyn II. MJF can be seen as a bodyguard for the Samoan Submission Machine as he makes his way to the ring ala Goldberg. The current AEW star attempts to walk ahead of Joe to clear his path at one point before he's pushed back behind him so that the NXT Champion can be at the forefront of the shot.
