MJF Admits Being a Triple H Mark Is “Sacrilege” in AEW Locker Room

MJF is stepping in to defend Triple H against criticism— and he knows it’s not exactly a popular stance where he comes from.

During an appearance on LNG Productions on April 5, 2026, MJF addressed the long-standing criticism surrounding Triple H’s career and made it clear he doesn’t agree with the narrative.

In fact, he went out of his way to defend him, even admitting that being a supporter of Triple H is viewed as “sacrilege” inside the AEW locker room. He didn’t hold back when explaining just how uncommon his opinion is: “I’m a big Triple H mark too, which is like sacrilege in my locker room because, you know…” The AEW World Champion then tackled the biggest criticism head-on — the idea that Triple H’s success is tied to his relationship with Stephanie McMahon rather than his own work.

“…but I do think he will never get his flowers because of the fact that he was banging the boss’s daughter. Everyone assumes that’s the only reason he got over.”

But according to MJF, that narrative completely ignores what Triple H actually brought to the table — especially when it comes to elevating others in the ring during his prime as a heel.

“But the fact of the matter is, Triple H made guys that were hot…hotter. He made sure there was nothing about him that was likable. He didn’t do it in a cheap way. Sorry, Shane Douglas—there’s a difference.”

The comments echo a long-standing debate about Triple H’s legacy — but what stands out here is where the defense is coming from. For MJF, praising Triple H might not be the popular opinion in AEW, but it’s one he’s clearly standing by.

Do you agree with MJF that Triple H doesn’t get enough credit, or do you think the criticism is justified? Drop your thoughts and let us know.
