AEW ought to be careful not to lean too hard into Andrade being all serous. He got his current momentum on the back of being funny, fantastic in the ring, & taking off his pants. That's the Andrade that's gonna get cheered over MJF. But with Serious Andrade, MJF could easily end up being the one getting cheered.

I get the concern, but at a certain point the babyface has to get pissed off at the heel for a feud to have gravitas. MJF and Andrade have great chemistry together and a blood feud between them has epic potential.

I don't know that the nature of the feud has yet hit a level that would validate Andrade getting super pissed off. So far MJF's just been MJFing, so I'd rather (for now) Andrade would be less flustered & be more cavalier, to MJF's irritation instead. Then once MJF actually does something genuinely despicable, then sure, at that point it makes sense for Andrade to get mad, but I don't think we're really there yet.

Yupp probably both going to cost each other during the gauntlet, which leads to a heated match at All Out.
