VIDEO: MJF Gives Update On His Injury Status

He can make this work. The future of the wrestling world seems to be in good hands as there are more young, talented performers than the business has seen in a long time. That is a great thing to see and something that you can’t really plant to have happen. However, one of the brighter stars of the future might be slowed back a bit by an injury, and he would know more about it than anyone.

There are very few wrestlers around these days who can match the speaking abilities of Maxwell Jacob Friedman. He has as quick of a wit as you can find today and that makes him one of the most valuable assets that AEW has. That makes him someone you would want to see on television fairly frequently, but that has not been the case as of late. Now, we have a better idea of why.

He would know best. Check out Friedman’s update on his medical status:

This week on Dynamite, Friedman gave an update on his health status, announcing that he was currently out of action due to a hangnail. The update comes after Friedman sent out various tweets talking about an unspecified injury that he had suffered which could require surgery. After giving the update, Friedman said that he was coming after the World Title in the near future.

Opinion: This is quite the relief and also something that you might have seen coming. At the end of the day, Friedman is someone who is at his best when he is trolling the audience and that seems to be what he did here. The injury (if you can call it that) is something that he sold rather well, even down to the cast on his hand. Hopefully he is back on TV soon, if nothing else just to hear how amazing he is at being annoying.

What do you think of Friedman? When will he be World Champion? Let us know in the comments below.
