MJF Delivers Promo During CMLL Event
MJF has delivered a stinging promo ahead of an upcoming CMLL appearance.
The controversial star is headed to Mexico to defend his newly renamed AEW American Championship against Templario on 2nd August.
The high-flying 32 year-old Mexican sensation defeated Averno in a tournament final to earn a shot at AEW gold in what will be MJF’s first bout in Mexico since 2019.
MJF promised to make short work of Templario during a video appearance at CMLL Viernes Espectacular on 26th July:
“That’s right, baby. Look at that gorgeous belt. It’s perfect. Templario, congratulations, buddy. Congratulations, you have won a tournament at the biggest opportunity at the biggest opportunity of all time. That is what you have earned yourself, my friend. You have earned yourself a shot at the best title in the world, the American Championship, but more importantly, you’ve earned yourself a brush with greatness with the greatest wrestler on God’s green earth, Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
Templario, I’ve heard great things. I’ve heard you’re a freak athlete. If I’m being honest, I’m sure it was all lies. I mean, let’s face it. I do love, however, when I travel to Mexico. I love to have a fiesta. Arriba! It’s fun, yeah. But if I’m being honest, the real reason I love going to Mexico is because I get to wrestle luchadors, and the reason I love to wrestle luchadors is because when I get in that ring, it ain’t a fiesta, baby. It’s a siesta. I mean, it’s easy pickings.
All of you luchadores, you’re slow, you’re plodding, you’re dumb, your masks look stupid. It’s the easiest time of my life, and then afterwards. I’m gonna have myself some great food. You guys have good food. Granted, our food is better, but it’s fine, it’s fine.
I am excited, Templario, to give this opportunity of a lifetime. August 2nd, you, my friend, are going to get to wrestle an American hero, and for that, Templario, and for the fact I’m probably gonna beat you in five seconds, you’ll get to go home nice and quick to your family, and you can thank me later.”
