In a significant development within Brock Lesnar AEW news, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), former AEW World Champion, referenced Brock Lesnar and several WWE legends as part of a milestone he hopes to achieve at the upcoming Worlds End pay-per-view. The event, featuring Samoa Joe as the reigning champion and prominent contenders Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page, is set to see MJF attempt to reclaim the prestigious AEW World Championship.
MJF, often acknowledged for his rapid ascent within AEW since its inception, has made a name for himself as a top villain in professional wrestling, securing the world title by age 26. He now prepares for a high-stakes match at Worlds End, where only a select group of wrestling talents, including Lesnar, have previously reached such feats before turning 30.
MJF Aims for Historic Second World Championship
Building anticipation on social media, MJF publicly listed Brock Lesnar, John Cena, The Rock, and Shinsuke Nakamura, among others, as two-time world champions under the age of 30. With another victory, MJF looks to add his own name to this esteemed roster of international wrestling icons at this pivotal AEW event.
“They don’t hand out greatness, they document it. After Worlds End, I join a list of only 9 men to be world champion twice before 30: Lou Thesz. Rikidōzan. Shinsuke Nakamura. Kazuchika Okada. Yokozuna. The Rock. Brock Lesnar. Randy Orton. John Cena. MJF,”

Veteran Dutch Mantell Weighs In on Brock Lesnar’s Career
The debate over retirement has surrounded Brock Lesnar, especially in the wake of John Cena’s recent exit from the sport. Brock Lesnar, renowned as “The Beast Incarnate,” has spent many years impressing wrestling fans worldwide. However, according to respected veteran Dutch Mantell, there is little reason for Lesnar to step away from the ring just yet.
“Well, I don’t know why he’s gotta retire. The schedule that WWE has now is nothing like it used to be. Literally nothing. We used to go through some weeks, you may have gotten into a ring not necessarily to wrestle that much, but you may have gotten into a ring eight to nine or ten times a week,”
he said.—Dutch Mantell, Wrestling Veteran
With newer, less demanding schedules in wrestling due to evolving company policies, Mantell pointed out that Lesnar, along with others like world champion Samoa Joe and the upcoming talents such as Swerve Strickland, could continue performing at the highest levels without the burnout that previous generations faced.
Anticipation Builds for AEW’s Worlds End
As the event approaches, the wrestling world watches to see if MJF will join Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Kazuchika Okada, and the rest of the exclusive club of multiple-time world champions under 30. The result will have implications not only for MJF’s career but for the landscape of both AEW and professional wrestling at large. This match at Worlds End is set to be a defining moment for all involved, linking legends of the past with a new generation aiming to make history—and ensuring that Brock Lesnar remains a central figure in AEW news and discussion.
