Audiences are still searching for a new “DeadMAN” in the ring, even after the Undertaker’s retirement. However, recently, WWE Hall of Famer Undertaker was spotted complimenting MJF before confronting his brother Adam Cole.
The Texas-born megastar acknowledged MJF’s in-ring talents and commitment to his role when asked about a possible opponent for his “DeadMAN” performance in Glasgow, Scotland, expressing curiosity about confronting him. Hearing such high praise from a wrestling icon has left the 27-year-old champion more determined than ever to defend his title at Wembley in 2023 and win the AEW Championship.
MJF reacts to the Undertaker comments
At AEW All-In, everyone was excited to see MJF play Adam Cole. He felt the pressure because he was playing against his bigger brother for the title. In an interview before the match, MJF thanked wrestling stars like Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Triple H, The Undertaker, and The Rock for their impact on his career. He also contemplated that if he won the main event match against Cole, he would become a hero himself.

Not many higher honors than being praised by The Undertaker.
