MJF and Adam Cole are officially tag team champs as the pair defeated Aussie Open at AEW’s All In on Sunday to become the ROH World Tag Team Champions. The pair originally joined forces in the Blind AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament earlier this summer and made it all the way to the finals before coming up short in a title bout against FTR. However, the friendship between the pair managed to endure even after the loss, prompting Cole to push for the pair to go for the ROH tag titles instead. The two will still clash in the All In main event for Friedman’s AEW World Championship, but there were no signs of tension between the pair throughout the tag match.

Despite breaking numerous records during his initial run with Ring of Honor, Cole can finally call himself a triple crown champion as the ROH tag titles eluded him throughout his years with the promotion. The win also gives Friedman his first tag title reign since joining AEW.

MJF on Fan Tribalism Between AEW and WWE
Friedman was a guest on a Town Hall special episode of Busted Open Radio this week and discussed the concept of tribalism between AEW and WWE fans.
“There’s this weird thing going on now in professional wrestling where I’ll see fans online, the way they communicate with each other, it’s like all-out war,” Friedman said. “Just so you guys know, that’s not what’s going on with the wrestlers. We’re all rooting each other on because realistically, the better the two companies are doing, the more money we’re gonna make. So like, stop arguing. We’re all freaking having a blast.
“I’m watching LA Knight and Cody Rhodes every week, and I’m having a blast, just like I know everybody else is having a blast, just like I know that there are fans out there watching Better Than You Bay-Bay having a blast every single week,” he added. “There’s so much great professional wrestling going on, and there’s more than enough room for it, clearly. Because AEW is about to have the biggest crowd, this is not hyperbole… the biggest crowd ever in the history of the sport, and I’m headlining it. When I think about that, it’s so insane to me.”
