Maxwell Jacob Friedman, known as MJF, has sparked new excitement ahead of AEW Worlds End with a statement drawing a Brock Lesnar AEW comparison, setting the stage for his quest to become a two-time world champion before turning 30. With the high-profile main event fast approaching, MJF’s pointed comments have added intensity to the buildup, as he aims to secure his place among wrestling’s elite.
MJF’s Return and Bold Claim About Wrestling Greatness
Since making a dramatic return to All Elite Wrestling, MJF immediately put himself back into the spotlight by cashing in his guaranteed world title opportunity, earned after his Casino Gauntlet victory. The upcoming AEW Worlds End event will mark a pivotal moment in his career, as he prepares to enter a four-way match with the aim of reclaiming the prestigious World Championship. Achieving this victory would make MJF one of the very few wrestlers in history—especially under the age of 30—to win two major world titles, a feat accomplished by only a small number of renowned athletes.
Intent on cementing his legacy, MJF promoted the pay-per-view and his own ambitions with a tweet that placed his name alongside some of wrestling’s most recognized figures, including WWE superstars The Rock, Randy Orton, John Cena, and, prominently, Brock Lesnar. The AEW star’s confidence was on display as he specifically promised to join this exclusive group by winning his second world title before reaching his milestone birthday.

These names—Lou Thesz, Rikidōzan, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kazuchika Okada, Yokozuna, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, and John Cena—represent champions who reached such heights early in their careers. MJF’s assertion both celebrates his accepted place among them and challenges his rivals as Worlds End draws near. If he achieves a title change at the event, his name joins this legendary roll call.
AEW Star’s History With Brodie Lee Jr. and Character Commitment
Apart from his chase for championship glory, MJF has continued to reinforce his reputation as one of AEW’s most polarizing and captivating personas. A recent incident highlighted his relentless commitment to character, after Amanda Huber—the widow of the late Luke Harper (Brodie Lee)—shared memories from a moving AEW tribute show honoring her husband.
MJF, who performed at that event, had even allowed young Brodie Lee Jr.—the late wrestler’s son, now training to be a pro wrestler himself—to strike him with a kendo stick during the emotional tribute. Yet MJF maintained his villainous persona with a raw social media retort when Amanda Huber recently praised his role in the tribute, promising a dramatic showdown in the ring when Brodie Lee Jr. reaches adulthood.
“Second that kid turns 18 he’s F**KED,” MJF wrote
This comment, while intense and in line with MJF’s established on-screen character, demonstrates his willingness to blur the lines between reality and entertainment, a trait that has marked his AEW tenure.
Anticipation Builds for Worlds End and MJF’s Pursuit
MJF’s return to AEW has injected the promotion with renewed energy, and his ongoing rivalry-driven narrative ensures he remains at the forefront of storylines leading into 2026. AEW President Tony Khan is counting on MJF to draw viewers and deliver high-octane drama at Worlds End. Whether MJF will reclaim the world championship—referred to by fans as the “Triple B”—remains the focal question, as anticipation among wrestling fans continues to grow.
The focus on winning a second world title before age 30 ties MJF’s ambitions to the legacies of stars like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Kazuchika Okada, and others named in his tweet. With a passionate fan base closely watching, MJF’s next milestone at AEW Worlds End could define his career and reshape the company’s future championship narrative.
