MJF Declares Victory in Bidding War of 2024

One big thing

AEW World Champion MJF claims he’s “won” the much-hyped “bidding war of 2024” by re-signing with AEW for a significant pay increase.

The details

• MJF reportedly re-signed with AEW in 2022, well before his contract’s original 2024 expiration date.

• In an interview with WrestleTalk, MJF boasted about his new contract:

“I won. I’m f**king rich as shit. It’s f**king crazy dude. I literally… you don’t f**king understand… I have so much money.”

• The 28-year-old wrestler claimed his pay dwarfs that of veteran performers:

“You’ve got guys walking around in their 40s that have given their body to this industry, they’re like dying practically, and they aren’t even making a fraction of what I make.”

• MJF declined to comment on potential talks with WWE, citing legal concerns about contract tampering.

Why it matters

MJF’s re-signing with AEW represents a significant talent retention for the company, keeping one of its top stars away from competitor WWE. His comments also shed light on the financial dynamics within professional wrestling, highlighting the potential earning power of young, marketable talent.

What’s next

AEW is set to return to Wembley Stadium for All In on August 25, 2024, where MJF is likely to play a prominent role.
