MJF has been one of the top Stars in All Elite Wrestling ever since he signed with the promotion back in 2019. He has recently been put in a storyline feud with his former Pinnacle partner Wardlow and he is recognized as one of, if not the top heel not only in AEW, but in all of pro wrestling. MJF was in the U.K. this past weekend and he appeared at the For The Love Of Wrestling convention, an event that is similar to that of WWE’s WrestleMania Axxess and was hosted by Monopoly Events.
The show, which took place in Liverpool, England, saw MJF take part in a Q&A session, where he talked about his current AEW contract expiring on January 1st, 2024 and how he didn’t get into the wrestling business to make the fans happy, he got into the business to make as much money as possible and it is no secret that the WWE wants to sign MJF once it current AEW contract expires, so if WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is willing to shell out more money than Tony Khan, then he would go to the WWE.
This is what MJF said:
“I don’t know if you guys are aware of this, but on January 1st of 2024, I’m going to be a free agent.” “Who here would want to see me in WWE? So let me explain something to you people — I did not get into this business to make any of you happy. I got into this business to make as much money as humanly possible.”
“And if Vincent Kennedy McMahon is willing to shell out more money than my good friend Tony Khan, then yes, I would go to WWE.”
MJF also talked about how at only 26 years of age, he is already the biggest minute-for-minute rating draw in all of AEW, which Chris Jericho wasn’t doing when he was 26.
This is what MJF said:
“That’s funny, because at only 26-years-old, I’m the biggest minute-for-minute rating draw in all of AEW.” “So I was able to do that in, what, half the time he was? When he was what, at 26, what was Chris Jericho doing? That’s right, jacksh*t.”
