New AEW Stars To Debut With MJF

At AEW Worlds End 2025, MJF defeated Samoa Joe, “Hangman” Adam Page and Swerve Strickland to win the AEW World Championship.

Now that he has the top prize in All Elite Wrestling back, Maxwell Jacob Friedman could get some backup to help him against the laundry list of challengers taking aim at his gold.

From former allies to high profile free agents, there could be someone coming into the promotion to debut alongside MJF as a new partnership during this new reign.

Here are six new AEW stars to potentially debut with MJF.

6. Richard Holliday

Dating back to his days in Major League Wrestling, MJF has been aligned with Richard Holliday as part of the Dynasty stable.

The two men have long been associated and left their mark on MLW during their time together.

With MJF enjoying his second reign as AEW World Champion, he should bring Holliday into the company to have his back, knowing he can trust him.

Considering Holliday has finished up his runs in MLW and GCW, he could be all freed up to join forces with MJF once again.

Speaking of the Dynasty stable, another star that MJF could bring into the fold is Hammerstone.

Standing at six feet, two inches and weighing 264 pounds, Hammerstone is someone who could be an intimidating in-ring competitor to anyone he steps into the ring with.

MJF inviting Hammerstone to AEW would be interesting to see the two former Dynasty members reunite in a new promotion.

Hammerstone coming in as MJF’s new bodyguard might be the most prominent role he could possibly debut as in All Elite Wrestling.

4. Elayna Black (Cora Jade)

MJF has been known to surround himself around beautiful women throughout his time in AEW despite being happily married now.

Whether it is to be eye candy for a grand entrance or his lovely wife, MJF is no stranger to surrounding himself with talented women throughout his career.

Bringing in one of the biggest free agent names on the market right now, MJF could have Elayna Black make her official re-debut in AEW.

After being released by WWE, the former Cora Jade could gain a new lease on life in the business by aligning with MJF in AEW to kickstart a new hot streak for the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.

Another star who has some history in All Elite Wrestling that could make a re-debut is KJ Orso.

Formerly known as Fuego Del Sol, the masked luchador was known for simply being a “jobber to the stars” and not ever winning matches while being on the AEW roster.

Since leaving the promotion, Fuego has reinvented himself after losing his mask and became KJ Orso, who is one of the best heels on the independent scene today.

Orso returning under his new persona alongside MJF would be an intriguing direction to go that could help him have a much better run in AEW than his first stint.

2. Donovan Dijak

Former WWE star Dijak

Back in June 2024, Donovan Dijak announced his departure from WWE after his contract expired and thus made him a free agent.

Since his exit, Dijak has travelled around the world working for multiple promotions, including Major League Wrestling. Limitless Wrestling and CMLL.

While Dijak has found a new home in these companies, he still feels like someone who would be a great fit for All Elite Wrestling and could make a more than capable bodyguard for the new AEW World Champion.

MJF introducing Dijak as his new ally would be an intriguing direction to go that could put the former WWE star in a prime position to interact with some of the top stars on the AEW roster like Kenny Omega, “Hangman” Adam Page or Will Ospreay.

1. Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin)

WWE NXT star BAron Corbin

Another former WWE star who remains a free agent and could make their way to All Elite Wrestling is Bishop Dyer.

Formerly known as Baron Corbin, Dyer made a name for himself across a 12-year run with WWE where he played a multitude of different roles from in-ring competitor to an authority figure.

Now reinventing himself outside of the WWE bubble, Dyer could make for a wonderful addition to the AEW roster, showcasing his versatility as a performer.

Considering their friendship outside of the ring, MJF could call on Dyer to be his backup against all the different contenders that have stepped up to take his Triple B from him.
