With the war between WWE and AEW intensifying, we've started seeing a sudden increase in trash talk from both sides. This is part of the fun of a wrestling war, of course, but Roman Reigns upset a lot of fans with his comments recently. MJF was asked about that during a recent interview, and we're guessing you expected him to deliver a verbal beatdown to the Head of the Table, right? Wrong.
Instead, MJF shared praise for the Universal Champion...all while delivering some home truths. "I’m seeing all this chitter-chatter of people in the other company talking smack, people in my company talking smack. Roman Reigns lost in the key demographic to Ruby Soho and Ruby Soho sucks," he said. "So, I don’t know what to tell you. Now, don’t get me wrong, that’s not me sh*tting on Roman Reigns. 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? Yeah, but I’m not gonna go out of my way to talk sh*t 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 and again, someday I might work there," MJF teased.
"Yeah, and I’m also sure if he sees this, he’ll pretend he doesn’t know who I am because that’s what they do over there when in reality I know that they’re all watching our stuff and again, cannot stress this enough, huge fan of Roman Reigns, think he’s great. Would love to work with him one day."
There's a lot of good points here and the entire interview is worth a watch. MJF is a master on the mic, and while we can't ever imagine him in WWE (certainly not the way the company is right now), it's clear he's destined to be a massive star in the pro wrestling industry over the next few years.
