“He’s a god amongst men. I have now gotten to on two red carpets, I’ve gotten to chat him up and pick his brain and like I’ll never forget I’m standing there, I see him enter the room and I walked upto him. I shook his hand and I said, “I just want you to know you were a big inspiration for me.”, “said Max.

It is very rare for the AEW World Champion to break character and praise a person like this. It was great to see him talk about Cena with such respect despite him being a heel.

MJF confirmed that he saw the retirement match of John Cena

During the same interview, Max was asked about his plans for retirement. While answering the question, he referenced the retirement matches of Cena and AJ Styles and stated that the thought hasn’t even struck him once. Cena wrestled his final wrestling match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December last year. Styles on the other hand competed in his final WWE match against Gunther at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh.

“No, because I’m young, the idea hasn’t even entered my head, like when I was watching that John Cena retirement, or the AJ Styles retirement,” he said.

MJF is still 29 years old and it is crazy to see how much progress he has made in his career. It will be interesting to see what his career will look like in the next few years.
