MJF Says Certain Stars Are Unwilling To Give Up Their Spots

One of AEW’s fastest rising and brightest star, MJF, was recently a guest on Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics, including calling himself AEW’s franchise player, how certain people in the company don’t want to give up their spots and more.

Below are the highlights:

On calling himself AEW’s franchise player:

“The one thing I don’t agree with is – you know what? it might be okay for somebody else on the roster to sit on the sideline but it’s not okay for me to be. I’m the franchise player, I’m the guy on both the microphone and in the ring.” “I’m a once in a lifetime professional wrestler. I’m something that people are never going to get to see again.”

On how certain people in the company don’t want to give up their spots:

“So no, it wasn’t okay. That what I wanted to make perfectly clear. The reason I was on that sideline was because certain people in our company don’t want to give up their spot, and that’s fine. ‘You don’t want to give up your spot? I’ll take yours’, and if that’s what I have to do – and precisely what I did this week.”
