MJF has high praise for his Firm members.
While he was off television, MJF aligned himself with Stokely Hathaway to recruit members for The Firm, a stable on retainer. Hathaway recruited W. Morrissey, The Gunn Club (Colten & Austin Gunn), Lee Moriarty, and Ethan Page for the group.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, MJF had plenty of praise for Stokely and Ethan.
"Either Ethan Page or Stokely Hathaway," MJF said when asked about underrated wrestlers. "I think people understand that Stokely Hathaway is a good linguistic exhibitionist, but I don't think they understand to what degree. Stokely Hathaway has the capability, the potential, the intelligence to pupateer a crowd at ease. Ethan Page is, quietly frankly, that guy is a star. He oozes charisma. He comes through the curtain, you have no choice but to stare. I see people almost break their necks turning around when his music hits. That's precisely why me and Stokely picked Ethan Page for The Firm."
MJF won the Casino Ladder match at AEW All Out thanks to the help of Hathaway and The Firm. By holding the chip, he holds an AEW World Title shot in his hands.
