News Roundup: 2-time Tag Team Champion apologizes for comments about fan attacking Seth Rollins, Why Edge chose WWE over AEW

#1 Jim Cornette recently compared AEW's MJF to Roddy Piper

Darby Allin faced MJF at AEW Full Gear but ended up losing after getting clocked in the face with the Dynamite Diamond ring. The Salt of the Earth later cut an intense backstage promo, differing from his usual calm and composed promos. He said that he proved everyone wrong and beat Allin with a headlock takedown like he had promised.

One person who loved MJF's promo was legendary manager Jim Cornette. Speaking on The Jim Cornette Experience, the legendary managed praised him and compared his promo to the late great Roddy Piper:

"This was a pretape that was shot after the Darby Allin match. He's sweating, he's still in his gear, he's covered, as he said, in Darby's shame and not his face paint. I don't know if this was two minutes or three, I don't know how long it was, but it was a Roddy Piper promo. It was flawless. The emotion, the venom dripping from the words that he said, about people he doesn't like and he proved everybody wrong and he beat Darby Allin with a headlock takeover and blah blah blah, what a heel. I'm surprised he didn't have a brain aneurysm doing this promo but it was great."

"Your blood's pumping and the adrenalin is flowing when you're in a situation like that. You've got that advantage but it's just a different way rather than MJF, like you said, always coming out and being composed and snotty with people by being in control. There he's in control but triumphant and it was just an extra gear," said Jim Cornette.

MJF is now set to feud with none other than CM Punk going forward. Punk interrupted him on AEW Dynamite before refusing to shake his hand and walking away.
