WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently had high praise for MJF after his match against Will Ospreay. The rivalry between MJF and Will Ospreay began when "The Salt of the Earth" attacked Daniel Garcia after his match against Ospreay. MJF delivered a Tombstone Piledriver from the second rope, after which Garcia was carried away on a stretcher.

Ospreay came to help Daniel Garcia, but was too late, as MJF had already caused the damage. This incident led to Maxwell challenging Ospreay for his AEW International title, which Ospreay accepted.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, MJF and Ospreay had a 60-minute match. In a controversial finish, MJF used his signature diamond ring to secure the victory and capture the AEW International Championship.
His victory over Ospreay in a historic 60-minute Iron Man match sent shockwaves through the wrestling world. The match earned a 5.75-star rating from renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer. Following the match, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair praised MJF. Flair took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a photo from his wrestling days with a caption next to a photo of MJF winning the AEW International title the previous week.
