Chris Jericho Predicts Top AEW Heel Will Turn Face Soon

On Sunday night the annual AEW All Out pay-per-view aired live from Chicago and it was an action packed show. The event kicked off with the Casino Ladder Match, and Stokely Hathaway’s stable secured the poker chip which was then given to The Joker who was wearing a mask.

CM Punk defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship in the main event, and after the match The Joker took his mask off and revealed himself to be MJF. The reveal got a big reaction from the crowd and the fans in Chicago even chanted “MJF” when he made his way out into the arena.

Chris Jericho addressed MJF’s status during the post-show media scrum, and he predicted that MJF will be one of the top babyfaces in AEW whether he wants to be or not.

“I’m a big fan of MJF, I really am. I said to him ‘when you come back, you’re going to be a babyface.’ He’s like, ‘I don’t want to be a babyface, I don’t want to be a babyface.’ I was like, ‘It’s going to happen.’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know what to do,’ and I said ‘I’m sure The Rock said the same thing or Steve Austin said the same thing. You can do a babyface comeback. I’ll teach you, it’s easy.’ It’s easier to make people hate you than it is to make them like you, but once they start hating you, that’s when they really start liking you. He’s almost at that — that’s my prediction. I think he’ll be one of the top babyfaces, whether he wants to be or not, very very soon. A game changer, that’s my opinion.”
