Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Heels of all time

48. MJF

There are few stars today that truly feel like genuine heels but MJF certainly fulfills this niche. Turning heel in AEW in 2019, the turn has greatly aided his career.

Assaulting mentor Cody Rhodes, Maxwell Jacob Friedman established himself as one of the company’s hottest commodities. MJF is known for not breaking kayfabe, staying in character on his Twitter and at fan events – showing he knows how to play the game of getting heat. Even revered by common AEW-basher Jim Cornette, MJF is a top star having squirmed his way to this status by using every trick in the book.

Rivaling with Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley, he has shown his exemplary mic skills and character work. The scarf-wearing, arrogant star is still in his mid-20s so has many, many more years to further prove his worth whether with The Pinnacle and Dynamite Diamond Ring or in a new venture. Either way, his heel work currently makes him stand head and shoulders above his opponents and he should continue to stay a bad guy for a very long time.
