Reason why MJF avoided suspension after latest controversy in AEW - Reports
The reason for MJF not getting suspended after some backstage issues has been reportedly disclosed. The 'Britt-Maxwell' incident has taken the wrestling community by storm after recent news on their argument surfaced online. Both the stars are scheduled to partcipate at All In.
Tony Khan seemingly can't catch a break when it comes to backstage arguments and fights. Last year, after All In, CM Punk was fired from the company for attacking Jack Perry backstage. Recently, a new backstage incident surfaced ahead of this year's All In where The D.M.D. and The Salt of the Earth got into a heated argument.
As per different sources, Britt and MJF confronted each other after the former AEW Women's World Champion was heard criticizing him. The incident happened minutes after the match between him and Ospreay. A later report came out and confirmed that MJF didn't get punished. Infact, Tony Khan and HR department were sympathetic towards him.
A recent report from Fightful suggested that multiple witnesses were interviewed and then it was decided to not to suspend the former AEW World Champion. It also disclosed that the American Champion had entered the women's locker room.
Goldberg addresses MJF taking shots at him
In 2023, in one of his many tweets, the American Champion took a shot at Goldberg and then deleted it after some time.
While speaking on Insights with Chris Van Vliet, the former Universal Champion talked about The Wolf of Wrestling's jab towards him. He stated that though Maxwell didn't show respect to him, he was still proud of him.
"Yeah, the respect that he didn't show me in one little promo thing but I get it. It's in character. But I'm proud that he has treated his career as such, very much so. Because, you know, it's not the normal path and you're gonna get resistant," he said.
It will be interesting to see if Tony Khan addresses the issues and ensure both stars' run is not affected due to the controversial events backstage.
