MJF comments on turning babyface

MJF recently was interviewed by Ibou of WrestlePurists, where he talked about AEW, CM Punk, Adam Cole and more.

MJF on why he didn’t turn babyface after his return at All Out 2022

“This is not me like messing around. I just wasn’t ready to accept love, and I know that might sound insane to anybody. I had been f**ked over so many times in my life, and because of my rejection sensitive disorder, you know, I already have my arms up at all times. I always when I leave a room, I think everyone is talking sh!t about me, always constantly, constantly in my own head. And I knew If I completely let myself out there and I wasn’t accepted, it would have killed me, I wasn’t there yet mentally.”

“But honestly my friendship inside and outside the ring with Cole, I really learned a lot as far as just being more open. Look I still have my bad days right? The entire arena was chanting Tofu at Jay White, and I heard literally one guy say, ‘come on Jay, you got this’ and immediately I was like f**k does everybody hate me, which is insane, but that is how my brain works, and I’m trying to be better, I’m trying to get better. And Adam had a lot to do with that big time as far as me allowing myself to let the fans be a part of this journey with me.”
