Appearing on The Wrestling Classic, current AEW star and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has compared MJF to Randy Orton.

Flair said:

“Well, number one, I think he’s [MJF] actually. He comes across as confident in real life as he comes across with his confidence in the ring, and he’s got a good interview.

“He’s got a great look. He worked hard. I think he’s got the confidence in real life that he portrays on TV, and I think the future is unlimited for him, and he’s really good.

“He could be the next Randy Orton. That’s about as high a praise as I can give him.”
