Trailblazers by nature, both The Rock and MJF have recognized the value of strength in numbers.

While not necessarily natural born "team players", both characters' early success was boosted by the support of heavy-hitting sidekicks. As he climbed the ranks of WWE, The Rock counted on "The World’s Strongest Man" Mark Henry to have his back, along with his fellow Nation brethren.

In present-day AEW, MJF enjoys the support of Wardlow, who has bailed the big-mouth out of a variety of tight situations. In recent weeks MJF has even established a warm rapport with his fellow Inner Circle members Santana and Ortiz, adding to his backup artillery.
