Tony Khan Explains Why AEW Didn't Turn MJF Babyface When He Was Getting Positive Crowd Response


When MJF was getting explosively loud positive crowd reactions, why didn't All Elite Wrestling go with it?

This was one of the questions asked of Tony Khan during a recent L.A. Times interview with the AEW and ROH President.

“I listen to the fans," Khan stated. "When the reactions were so massive, I had to at least think about [making MJF a good guy], but MJF is the world’s best young pro wrestler and one of the best pro wrestling heels of any age I’ve ever seen and I think his ability to antagonize the other wrestlers and the crowd is unparalleled."

Khan added, "AEW is at its strongest when MJF is at his worst as a villain.”
