MJF is one of the top heels on AEW (AEW)
MJF is quite confident that WWE will do anything to sign him
AEW superstar MJF has become one of the best modern-day heels in the wrestling world. He is now one of the top superstars of AEW and is quite confident that the wrestling giant will do whatever it takes to sign him.
MJF has been phenomenal, and his character intentions have made him quite popular among the fans. He has previously revealed that he will go where the money is after his AEW contract expires in 2024 and also said that there will be a bidding war for him in that same year.
He recently spoke with Freddie Prinze on the Wrestling with Freddi podcast (h/t Ringside News), the Salt of the Earth and stated that he believes WWE will do whatever it takes to sign him after his contract with AEW expires in 2024. He also mentioned that he was to take a rifle and shoot the company in the heart.
“I genuinely believe WWE is going to be willing to do whatever it takes to get me to jump ship because to have me is to pretty much take a sniper rifle and shoot the heart of All Elite Wrestling because that is precisely what I am. I’m the glue because everybody around me hates my guts. Everybody wants to punch me in the face. I am the top tier guy that everybody has a problem with. I got no problem being that thorn because it takes me a sh*t ton of money. So, to answer your question, Fred, yeah, I do believe that these people are going to shell out a lot of cash for me.”
While continuing the interview, MJF said that he is the most prominent “protagonist” and considered himself the Joker to Batman. He believes that there will be no fun for the antagonist if he goes out of the company.
“When you take your biggest antagonist – even though, personally, I feel I’m a protagonist – when you take your biggest antagonist, and you take them away, what do you have? What is the Batman without The Joker? He’s nobody. He is boring and has no intrigue whatsoever. There is just no success without having that thorn in your side. I got no problem being that thorn because it takes me a sh*t ton of money.“
The Salt of the Eart continued to grow more in AEW and made his value go high and above, so don’t be surprised if you see actually bidding war for him when his contract expires.
