#3. Eddie Kingston

Eddie Kingston joined AEW in 2020. While many believe he physically doesn't look like a star, his in-ring skills and crowd work prove otherwise. Additionally, Kingston has also shown that he can hold his own on the microphone. His passion for the business shines through in his promos, making him relatable to the fans. This has also helped him gain a loyal fan following.

One of his most iconic promos was when he spoke about Claudio Castagnoli in a backstage segment during their infamous feud. He relived their past history together and how he felt disrespected by the man he once called his friend. This promo felt incredibly realistic and added another dimension to their long-standing feud. Hence, on the mic, he is one of the few stars who is better than John Cena.

#2. Hangman Page

Hangman Page has improved a lot ever since he arrived in AEW. In just a few years since joining the promotion, he has established himself as a top star and has won both tag team and singles gold. He is also a former World Champion and is closing in on his second World Title. However, it isn't only his in-ring skills that have improved over the years; Page has shown considerable growth in his ability to cut meaningful promos.

Adam Page cut one of his best promos before his Double or Nothing bout against Will Ospreay, where he reflected on the past two years of his career, which were filled with hatred and grief, also referencing his feud with Swerve Strickland. He also highlighted that winning the World Title was personal for him, as he wanted to repay the fans for their support during his darkest days.

This promo showcased Hangman's ability to connect with the fans on a personal level, which makes him another AEW star who is better on the mic than John Cena.

#1. MJF is better than John Cena on the mic

MJF is arguably one of the best heels in the business right now. He is also one of AEW's top homegrown talents, having been with the company since its inception in 2019. Maxwell Jacob Friedman caught fans' attention with his incredible promo skills as well as his ability to compete in the ring. At just 29 years old, Maxwell leaves all his contemporaries in the dust when it comes to mic skills.

Friedman even went toe-to-toe against CM Punk, who is known for his mic skills, and held his own in incredible promo battles. Maxwell's ability to be a heat magnet has also helped him get some reactions from the fans during his promos. Considering his age, MJF is not only the best promo in AEW but is also better than John Cena.

It's disappointing that none of these stars could compete with Cena in a promo battle.
