Stokely Hathaway says that he is the direct reason for MJF becoming AEW World Champion.
At AEW All Out 2022, Stokely Hathaway would assist a man in a devil mask winning the Casino Ladder match at the event, who would later revealed to be MJF. MJF would cash in his title shot at AEW Full Gear 2022, defeating Jon Moxley and becoming the AEW World Champion for the first time in his career. Now, Stokely is taking full credit for MJF’s title win.
While speaking to TMZ Sports in a new interview, Stokely would take full responsibility for MJF’s title win, believing he was the direct reason for MJF’s win.
“I mean, of course. I mean, I’m the one who got that gigantic chip. I mean, I crawled up an 80-foot ladder, grabbed it, and gave it to him. So, you know, if it weren’t for me, I don’t know what he’d be doing. You know what I’m saying? He’d probably be at AutoZone somewhere. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. I’m just saying, like, that’s what he most likely would be doing if it weren’t for me grabbing, like, the chip. So I appreciate the callback to history.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Stokely spoke about his recent singles match with Cope on AEW Dynamite. You can read more about that here.
