A brewing storyline in AEW is that of Tully Blanchard trying to find the perfect partner for Shawn Spears. They launched an online hunt, asking wrestlers and fans alike to pitch their case as to why they would be his perfect partner. Despite this, the perfect option could have been right there all along. He is better than you, and he knows it. Could MJF be the perfect partner for Shawn Spears?
Both Have Had Beef With Cody Rhodes
If nothing else, they have their mutual hate of Cody Rhodes to bring them together. The first big feud for Spears came when he would slam a steel chair over the head of Cody early in AEW, with Cody eventually beating him in a match. This is what lead to Arn Anderson being Cody’s ringman, as he would oppose his old partner Tully Blanchard who is still aligned with Spears. MJF was an ally of Cody, before turning on him after costing him what could be his only AEW Championship opportunity. He has since put Cody through hell, and even won their match at Revolution with underhanded tactics. With their mutual disdain for Cody, that could be enough to start their tag team career. They were seen together in the crowd for Dynamite, gambling over the outcome of matches throughout the night.
Shawn Spears, MJF & Wardlow Would Be A Deadly Trio
While tag team glory is an option, AEW has many trio’s and could possibly introduce a title for that division. Add Wardlow to these two and you have a near perfect lineup, especially with the guidance of Tully Blanchard. Add in Butcher & Blade who MJF brought in as his muscle, and you have another faction to war alongside The Elite, The Inner Circle, and Dark Order. Given the faction heavy approach, and that this would give another way to strike back at Cody Rhodes, this could be an excellent route for AEW to take going forward. Having MJF with a complete posse would help his role as a top heel, and it could be his recipe for reaching the AEW Championship, which would be the ultimate way to show up Cody Rhodes.
