#9 MJF
Maxwell Jacob Friedman is the fastest rising star in all of professional wrestling, and after turning on his best friend Cody and pairing with Wardlow, it's clear that the process to build him as the face of AEW has begun. On the promo, MJF is arguably the best in all of wrestling (with the seasoned Chris Jericho being his only equal), and now that he's free to be the biggest heel possible, he'll be cementing his position as a top star in the promotion very soon.
This build-up has been done quite slowly, so he hasn't had too much in-ring action yet, but as always, he's looked very impressive, and as he grows with his experience, he will become one of the best in the world.
Plenty of performers in AEW are ready to take over in 2020, but if done right, next year could be the year of Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as he has the talent to be the face of an entire company.
