How much influence does former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) have on the AEW main event title picture? According to Sapp, MJF has “a major influence” on the programs he’s involved in, and it’s said that he contributes creatively in some capacity. Although it’s unknown if MJF’s creative input is a part of his AEW contract, it’s said that his creative influence and contributions have been well known for a while in AEW. The fan also questioned how other talents feel about MJF’s creative influence; Sapp noted that some wrestlers don’t want any talent to have any type of creative influence, adding that he’s rarely heard of wrestlers expressing that it’s a good idea. MJF has been off AEW programming since losing the World Title to Kenny Omega last month at AEW Dynamite: Beach Break.
