Top AEW star could improve massively in WWE, working with TJ Wilson and Shawn Michaels, says EC3 (Exclusive)
While both AEW and WWE have potent rosters, several talents could use some time working under certain wrestling veterans. EC3 spoke about MJF's re-signing with All Elite Wrestling and why the star could have considered going to Titanland to learn.
MJF recently confirmed he'd re-signed with AEW, leaving many WWE fans disappointed over his rumored arrival. As noted earlier, EC3 believed that The Salt of the Earth made the right choice by extending his tenure in All Elite Wrestling, where the young star could make a lot of money.
Carter was confident that MJF would be in the WWE in the future but noted that the 28-year-old could have gained a lot by working with the company's "top-shelf" producers. EC3 mentioned TJ Wilson (fka Tyson Kidd) while praising the Stamford-based company's backstage setup on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, as you can see below:
"I think one great thing about WWE is top-shelf producers, like minds that can take your good ideas and make them better. Like, especially a TJ Wilson. Him working with a TJ Wilson would probably up his game tremendously. But, for now, take the money while it's coming. You're set. You're made there. Yeah." [From 02:38 to 03:05]
EC3 said that while MJF has proven to be a competent pro wrestler, picking the brains of the likes of long-time WWE coach Terry Taylor and Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels would do wonders for the former world champion. He continued:
"Again, because he is a very talented and accomplished performer, but if he had time with like a Terry Taylor or like a Shawn [Michaels], just on, like, deep intricate things, it would make him world-class for sure." [From 06:55 to 07:20]
EC3 wonders if AEW's MJF could work the "WWE style"
MJF has showcased that he is among the most well-rounded professional wrestlers, not just in AEW but in the world.
AEW's style, however, is noticeably different from WWE, and EC3 admitted that working for the Stamford-based organization was a unique proposition.
EC3 said that unlike what fans think about the "WWE style" of matches, there were many intricate details that only a handful of talents understand. The NWA World Champion explained:
"The one thing I do think for him is the ability to level up against higher level talents that have worked slightly differently, more so, as I mentioned, the WWE style; there is so much more to it that people say when they talk about 'the WWE style of a match.' But there are a lot of, like, intricacies and intangibles that truly only the greats get." [From 02:07 to 02:30]

MJF is seemingly All Elite for the long haul, and even though he has already put together a great resume for the company, his best work might still be yet to come.
