The reigning and defending AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF is set to speak up for a noble cause. Maxwell Jacob Friedman will be showing up at the ‘Stand Up for Jewish Hate’ campaign to speak about bullying.
Last night on the special Title Tuesday edition of AEW Dynamite, Friedman exchanged some words with ‘Switchblade’ Jay White and his faction. MJF was upset with the fact that White had stolen his AEW World Title and demanded he give it back to him as soon as possible. The Bullet Club Gold member claimed that he is the rightful champion and MJF will have his chance to get it back at the Full Gear pay-per-view.
After White spoke, ‘Rock Hard’ Juice Robinson took the microphone and had some harsh words. He even reminded MJF about his dark past by showing a roll of quarters. Friedman had previously mentioned that some bullies used to throw quarters at him when he was a kid.
Following the show, Friedman took to Twitter to announce that he will be part of an anti-bullying campaign. It will take place this Thursday at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
“Tonight that piece of shit, Juice Robinson decided to bring up a story from my childhood that has left me scared. I’m glad he did. He brought awareness to something we’ve all gone through in one way, shape, or form in our lives. On behalf of anyone who’s ever been bullied for being different in any capacity. I look forward to leaving him scared too. I also look forward to this Thursday #StandUpToJewishHate,” MJF tweeted.
White also challenged MJF to an 8-man tag team match. When Friedman was looking for partners, Max Caster offered a helping hand but he refused.

The campaign is led by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS).
