It also is bringing up a complaint I have with AEW thus far (though it's still early) in that they are trying to attract the "lapsed fan" and casual viewers but they are treating the entire audience like they are the smart marks who have been following BTE and all these guys YouTube channels for the last few years.

The MJF situation is that he's been buttering up Cody and Cody think he's the most amazing guy, but as soon as Cody leaves the room he goes back to being the biggest asshole on the planet. Everybody else sees it, but Cody doesn't. That being said, he is constantly coming to Cody's rescue and backing him up when needed (being his corner man at All Out for example), so he is a face when it comes to matters that deal with Cody and a heel otherwise.

They are eventually leading to MJF turning on Cody I imagine, and they teased it at All Out and last night.

Here's some context from BTE:
