MJF considers himself a generational talent, and he clearly has many ways to back up his claims. Maxwell is now the AEW World Champion and he never fails to carry himself like a champion every week. MJF is tag partners with Adam Cole and has been trying to be very chummy with him. Now it appears MJF and Adam Cole were called the best tag team in pro wrestling.
Adam Cole and MJF had a stellar match a few weeks ago on AEW Dynamite. Instead of getting a rematch, AEW decided best that they would become tag team partners for the blind tag team tournament.
They ended up winning the whole thing after defeating Daniel Garia and Sammy Guevara on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. In addition to that, MJF and Adam Cole’s ‘Better Than You Baybay’ t-shirt dominated sales this year.
While speaking on Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. gave major props to MJF for engaging in a hilarious “buddy cop-type” storyline with Cole. He then called MJF and Adam Cole the best tag team in pro wrestling right now.
Whether you like MJF’s ideas or not, each and every time he takes a big swing,” Prinze began. “He might not always hit a home run, but he’d still hit a lot of triples.
You know this eventually ends in betrayal,” Prinze admitted, as he touched upon MJF and Cole’s on-screen chemistry. “It has to — because Adam Cole wants the belt, and MJF treats it [the belt] like his girlfriend from the ’80s. But this match [against Sammy Guevara and Daniel Garcia] … I had been waiting for the double clothesline because they had been setting it up for so long, and it is the weakest finisher ever — and I love that they finally won with it.
I don’t know how they’re pulling this off,” Prinze added. “To have four matches together and be the best tag team, and most entertaining tag team in wrestling — even the stupid ass vignettes they do in the Chinese restaurant. I love this stuff so much!”
MJF and Adam Cole will be challenging FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championships on this week’s episode of AEW Collision. We will have to wait and see how the match will turn out.
