Erstwhile WWE Defending champion Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) is confident that MJF has all the tools to become WWE’s next franchise player if he ever joins the company.
Dhesi expanded on that opinion in the video’s caption, predicting that MJF will eventually make the move from AEW to WWE. “My prediction: MJF eventually makes the jump to WWE. Adding to the story, and if he does, I think he has the potential to be the next franchise player.”
Following Kenny Omega’s victory over MJF to capture the AEW World Gold on the July 9 edition of AEW Dynamite, Dhesi shared his thoughts in a video posted to TikTok. “I’ve seen enough. The future franchise player of WWE—I’m talking Reigns, Cena, Rock, Austin, Hogan level—is MJF.”
He then clarified why he is of the opinion that MJF has the qualities needed to become one of WWE’s biggest stars. As an added layer to this, he understands his character. “He can talk. He knows how to use social media and media in general to keep people invested.”
According to Dhesi, MJF’s greatest strength is his ability to make wrestling community question what’s real and what’s part of the performance. “Most importantly, he understands how to blur the lines — equally important, the most valuable skill to have.”
