AEWs newest signing Ace Austin might have impressed fans with his debut, but MJF isnt exactly lining up to sing his praises.
Austin made his AEW debut on the August 14 episode of Collision, taking on Ricochet in a bout that drew plenty of attention. Shortly after the match, it was confirmed that the former TNA X-Division Champion is officially All Elite.
During an interview with VICE, MJF was asked to weigh in on the companys latest acquisition. While acknowledging Austins talent, the former AEW World Champion didnt hold back on his personal take.
MJF has his eyes locked on gold once again. Hes set to challenge Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Championship at Forbidden Door on August 24 in London. While MJF originally earned his title shot through the Casino Gauntlet at All In Texas, this upcoming clash will now be a standard title matchnot a contract cash-in. And in a major twist, disqualifications or count-outs can now result in a title change.
With MJF focused on reclaiming the top spot, dont expect him to be scouting Ace Austin anytime soon.
Do you think MJF is underestimating Ace Austin, or is he calling it exactly how he sees it? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
