AEW star MJF wants to ‘go down as the greatest of all time’

Former AEW Champion MJF recently claimed about wanting to ‘go down as the greatest of all time.’

At just 29 years old, MJF is often regarded as one of the best talents in the All Elite Wrestling roster and the entire pro wrestling industry. With multiple championship wins across the globe, Maxwell Jacob Friedman recently opened up about one of his goals, being known as the ‘GOAT’.

Speaking to Sean Ross Sapp, Friedman claimed, “Now, when people think about professional wrestling in 2025, the names that come up, am I one of them? Yeah, no f***ing s**t. But that’s not enough for me. I need to go down as the greatest of all time.”

“I need to go down as a generational talent, as a guy who led my generation for years to come. AEW had me in my 20s. They’re about to have me in my 30s,” Friedman claimed. “Have I accomplished more than anybody has in that period of time? Probably. But I’m not satiated. That was my biggest thing that I realized after the Mark Briscoe match. I just was not satiated. It’s not okay to just have a good outing. I need to win.”

Further, he also opened up about suffering back-to-back losses to Mark Briscoe and Mistico.

“The guys that I looked up to when I got into this profession were true traveling champions, and their schedules were just as heinous,” he continued. “I think, dare I say, I feel like I put out a better performance in under a under 24 hour span in two different matches than anyone else in the history of the business. I’m willing to put my name on that between the Mistico match and the Mark Briscoe match. Am I happy about the results? No.”

Recently making his return, Friedman is now set to compete for the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe, Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland at Worlds End 2025.
