AEW World Champion MJF took to Twitter on Sunday to talk about earning the respect of his peers and the fans. The Salt of the Earth wrote,
“In this sport respect isn’t given. It’s earned. Every time I step into the ring I used to only do it for myself cuz I figured nobody gave a s*** if I was alive or dead. Now when I walk through that curtain I walk out with everyone who believes in me. I’m not a finished product. But I’m trying.”
MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against Jay White at the upcoming Full Gear 2023 pay-per-view event. He’ll also be facing off against Daniel Garcia on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
