5 AEW stars who could have been more successful in WWE

#2. AEW star Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) would work well as a heel in WWE

It’s no secret that Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) is one of the best heels in AEW today. He has been a true star for the company and has had a long rivalry with its top legend, Chris Jericho.

Many fans believe that babyfaces tend to do better in WWE than heels. However, heels have done extremely well in WWE over the past few years and changed the perception of fans. Roman Reigns, Bayley, Baron Corbin, and AJ Styles have played great heel characters in recent years.

MJF is someone who could also do very well in the WWE if given a chance. The AEW star comes across as a natural heel, like Randy Orton and Corbin. His work in the ring is remarkable, and he's great on the mic.

These unique qualities can allow MJF to be more successful in WWE than AEW. In a recent interview with Steel Chair Magazine, the AEW star admitted that he's a businessman and would listen to whatever offers come his way.

“Me and my boys, we’re willing to go wherever the money’s at, it’s that simple. Don’t get me wrong, AEW runs deep in me, I don’t want to leave, but I am a businessman at the end of the day, and I can’t help myself if somebody’s got an offer for me, I’m going to listen to it,” Said MJF.

Vince McMahon and his men have already seen how MJF can move the crowd with his heel work. He's already become a big name in the wrestling industry, and WWE could look to rope him in once his AEW comes to an end.
