MJF Says People Don’t Talk About This AEW Star Enough

AEW Men’s World Champion is many things, including someone who isn’t a fan of labeling people underrated or overrated. On occasion, however, he will make an exception. That occasion occurred last week when MJF was on “Late Night Grin,” when, after letting his thoughts about “underrated wrestlers” be known, he revealed one AEW star that was actually worthy of the designation.

“I don’t think people talk about Mark Davis enough,” MJF said. “How’s that? I think Mark Davis, and he’s getting his flowers, but he’s not getting enough flowers. That dude is next f*****g level. He’s probably one of the best big men in the sport right now. Not probably, I take that back, he’s one of the best big men in the sport right now.”

Originally arriving in AEW as a member of Aussie Open with Kyle Fletcher, Davis suffered several injury setbacks that kept him out of the ring for a combined 18 months between 2024 and 2025, though he has since come on strong in 2026 as a member of the Don Callis Family. While he was out injured, Fletcher saw his stock rise tremendously as a singles wrestler, and was considered among AEW’s fastest rising stars before suffering a recent injury of his own. That, according to MJF, has only contributed to Davis being underrated, and he pondered if Davis may have had the same success had he stayed healthy and Fletcher had gotten hurt instead.

“That’s another reason I think he’s underrated,” MJF said. “I think if Mark Davis was given these same platform as Kyle was, or if the roles were reversed even. If Kyle got first…who’s to say? I mean, they’re both so talented. Tremendously different performers and athletes, and looks. But they’re both so great. And they both connect in very different ways through very different ways.”

Roman Reigns Responds to Oba Femi Callout After WrestleMania 42

Roman Reigns Responds to Oba Femi Callout After WrestleMania 42

Roman Reigns did not ignore the challenge from Oba Femi following WrestleMania 42 Sunday, addressing it directly during the post-show in front of a live crowd.

Femi had earlier called out Reigns after defeating Brock Lesnar, making it clear he is aiming for the top spot. That moment quickly carried over into the post-show, where fans began chanting “Oba’s gonna kill you!” while Reigns was speaking.

Reigns acknowledged the chant and turned it into a direct message aimed at Femi.

“Oba, you’re gonna kill me? See, you still seem a little fresh in this business.”

While he recognized Femi’s win over Lesnar, Reigns made it clear that one major victory is not enough to reach his level. He pointed to his own track record, emphasizing consistency and championship success as the real measure.

“You did a big thing tonight—but I’ve done that many times, and I’ve done it with a title on the line. I took it, I defended it. Let’s see how you do through the summer—and then we’ll see if you can step up to the greatest of all time.”

The response sets the tone for what could develop into a future program between the two. Reigns is not dismissing Femi, but he is also not positioning him as an immediate challenger.

Femi’s callout came after his victory earlier in the night, while Reigns closed WrestleMania 42 by defeating CM Punk to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

With both men coming out of WrestleMania with major momentum, the exchange suggests a potential clash down the line. For now, Reigns has made it clear that Femi must prove himself over time before earning that opportunity.

Oba Femi Targets Roman Reigns After Defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42

Oba Femi Targets Roman Reigns After Defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42

Oba Femi scored the biggest win of his career at WrestleMania 42 Sunday, defeating Brock Lesnar in the opening match and immediately setting his sights on Roman Reigns.

Femi overcame Lesnar in a dominant showing, surviving an F5 before finishing the match with Fall From Grace to secure the victory. The result marked a major moment for Femi, who stepped into the spotlight against one of WWE’s most established names.

Speaking on the WrestleMania 42 post-show, Femi addressed the significance of the win.

“It feels amazing. It’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, it’s another thing to show everybody what you are. I took 25 years of history. 25 years of The Beast, and I made it null, because I am who I say I am. I am the Ruler, the Destroyer, the Bringer of War, Oba Femi,” he said.

During the discussion, Corey Graves pointed out how composed Femi appeared heading into the match. Femi admitted that was part of his approach.

“You said I wasn’t fazed. It seemed that way, but at the end of the day, it’s Brock Lesnar. I was fazed. I understood how big the challenge was ahead of me, but you can’t show fear to someone like that. He feasts on stuff like that. Once he knows you are afraid, his confidence rises. I knew if I showed any fear, it’s over for me,” he explained.

Following the loss, Lesnar removed his gloves and boots and left them in the ring, a moment widely interpreted as a sign of retirement, though no official confirmation has been announced.

Femi also made it clear that he is now looking ahead to the next stage of his career.

“In the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. At the end of the year, the OTC CAN GET SOME!”

That statement directly points toward Roman Reigns, who closed WrestleMania 42 by defeating CM Punk to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

With Femi coming off a major win and already targeting the top champion, his direction following WrestleMania 42 appears to be firmly set toward the main event scene.

Roman Reigns delivered on his promise at WrestleMania 42, defeating CM Punk to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Night Two main event.

The match lived up to expectations, with both men trading heavy strikes from the opening moments. The pace stayed intense throughout, as each competitor looked to gain the upper hand in what quickly became a physical contest.

Reigns took control during key stretches, including a sequence where he delivered multiple Superman Punches to Punk while he was trapped upside down on the ropes. He also used the steel steps to land a major blow, increasing the damage on the challenger.

Punk responded with offense of his own, including an attempt to use an ula fala from the crowd. He also looked to turn Reigns’ own move against him by attempting a Spear, but was unable to connect successfully.

As the match progressed, both men showed signs of exhaustion and were visibly bloodied. The action slowed briefly as they exchanged submission attempts on the mat, each trying to force the other to give in.

Punk came close to victory after hitting a Go To Sleep. He attempted to follow up with a second, but collapsed under the weight of Reigns, allowing the momentum to shift once again.

Reigns answered with a Spear, though he was unable to capitalize immediately. Both competitors remained down before Reigns regained his footing and delivered a final Spear, securing the three-count.

With the victory, Reigns becomes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the first time and adds a seventh world title to his career in WWE.
