>MJF on being a babyface via SI: “I had zero confidence in this. For the longest time, when I walked through the curtain, my only goal was to make people viscerally hate me. I never wanted people to like me.
>Getting liked is hard because it opens the door up to be rejected. So when the fans started chanting my name, it really shook me. There was even a wave of MJF support when I won the belt. I remember thinking to myself, ‘No.’ And that was out of fear. And I’m still scared, but it’s a lot less.
>This is truly the best AEW title reign of all-time. At the beginning of this reign, I was the most hated man in professional wrestling. Now I’m the most loved person in All Elite Wrestling. I take a lot of pride in that.”
