In a recent interview with WrestlePurists, AEW World Champion MJF discussed various aspects of the promotion, including its partnership with broadcasting giant Warner Bros. Discovery, potential TV rights deals, and, notably, the strength of AEW’s roster.
MJF began by emphasizing the exceptional quality of AEW’s talent pool, stating that it may be one of the strongest rosters in the history of professional wrestling. He provided a list of prominent names that showcased the depth and breadth of AEW’s talent, highlighting the company’s commitment to featuring top-tier wrestlers.
Among the names mentioned by MJF were established stars like Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Brody King, RUSH, Ricky Starks, Will Hobbs, Samoa Joe, Miro, and Malakai Black. This impressive roster, according to MJF, makes AEW an “embarrassment of riches” when it comes to wrestling talent.
“Right now, undoubtedly, and I think everyone would admit this, I feel like we have the strongest bell-to-bell roster probably in the history of the sport, and I don’t feel like that’s hyperbole at all. Me, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong — fucking piece of shit, Brody King, RUSH, Ricky Starks, Will Hobbs, Samoa Joe, Miro, Malakai Black. It’s an embarrassment of riches, bro. I could go on and on until my face turns blue.”
MJF’s comments underscore AEW’s dedication to offering fans a diverse and compelling wrestling product. The promotion’s ability to attract both established veterans and rising stars has contributed to its rapid growth and popularity within the wrestling world.
As AEW continues to evolve and expand, the strength of its roster remains a crucial factor in its ongoing success. With a roster featuring an array of world-class talent, AEW is poised to remain a major player in the world of professional wrestling.
