MJF and CM Punk continue to speak highly of each other after their feud in AEW.
It all started in late 2021, just months after Punk arrived in AEW. They first worked as opponents for a trios bout in December before feuding with each other. MJF won the first bout on Dynamite before Punk beat MJF at Revolution.
While speaking with Casual Conversations, MJF talked about a wide range of topics. Regarding CM Punk, MJF said, “Yeah, I think I would use the word mentor through hate. I was mentored by probably two of the most intelligent guys in the business. One was through love, and one was through hate.”
He named Jon Moxley as the hardest-hitting guy he has ever wrestled, and he considers The Young Bucks “game changers” and FTR “the best tag team in the world.”
MJF added, “Kenny Omega was the best wrestler in the world, and then I beat him. I would love to do a rematch.” MJF was asked about Bryan Danielson and said, “Oh my God, genius, wrestling genius. Enough to beat me, though, but a wrestling genius.”
