How many heels in the arena can get the audience so upset that they attack him when he makes a retreat? MJF is one such individual and he earned the distinction this week by beating Cody Rhodes down with a sum total of ten vicious lashes. Until Brandi Rhodes came into the picture, I honestly thought that this was one of the better AEW segments in the company's short but illustrious history.

One tends to take MJF for granted, but this is a man who is only 23 years old! And the way he took control of the segment, the way he ridiculed Arn Anderson and even the way he got a cheap shot in after Cody Rhodes was down and broken were all signs that he's going to be one of the all-time greats in due course of time. Of course, Cody Rhodes played his part brilliantly too because those lashes must have really hurt the poor guy!
I'd love to see MJF in the world title picture someday, ideally if Jon Moxley defeats Chris Jericho.
