4 Signs that Cody is winning the AEW World Title at Full Gear

#1 Future connotations

MJF

Followers of AEW will notice that they have a sure-fire money feud waiting in the wings whenever the company decides to pull the trigger on it. That feud is the inevitable one between Cody and MJF.

The character of Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been one of the high points of 2019. While he portrays an arrogant jackass to just about everyone - be it wrestlers, media, fans,etc. - his relationship with Cody is entirely different.

MJF currently sees the number one contender as a mentor, a friend, and someone who he would do anything for. However, there will come a point when Friedman's natural tendencies take over, and he turns on 'The American Nightmare.'

The longer AEW hold this out, the bigger the reaction will be. Putting bigger stakes on the line as well will also make it feel more special when it does happen. The turn would work so much better if it comes from MJF costing Cody the title somewhere down the line, whether it's at the next big PPV event or even later down the line in mid-to-late 2020.

If AEW plans to pull the trigger fairly soon, MJF could attack the new champion after his win on Saturday. This would set up Cody's next big feud and more than likely lead to the building of AEW's first homegrown star with MJF being the first non-WWE AEW Champion before 2020 comes to a conclusion.
