#5. MJF says he could end up in WWE after his AEW contract expires in 2024
MJF was the guest on Rasslin' with Brandon F. Walker, and the AEW star made a few interesting comments about the possibility of working with WWE.
MJF put himself over as the future of AEW and noted how Tony Khan understands the superstar's importance to the promotion. 'The Salt of the Earth' explained that he doesn't indulge himself in ratings-related trash talk because he realizes that there is a possibility of becoming a WWE Superstar in the future.
MJF claimed he would consider doing business with Vince McMahon's company if Tony Khan "does not fork up the right money."
"So Tony Khan understands where his bread is buttered. Tony Khan understands he has the best promo, or interviewee, or guy on the stick, however you want to say it, in all professional wrestling. I'm also one of the best in-ring wrestlers in the world today. My issue and the reason why I don't get into ratings talk, and I'll let everybody else do it, is because someday, if Tony Khan, again good friend of mine, love him, doesn't fork up the right amount of money when my contract goes up in the beginning of 2024, I might go to the other place," stated MJF.
MJF also mentioned Bruce Prichard and said that he had a great relationship with the current WWE executive. Prichard has apparently known MJF since his Major League Wrestling (MLW) days, and the AEW star is confident that Bruce is a huge admirer of his work.
The 25-year-old wrestler added that his AEW future will depend on Tony Khan's offer and didn't rule out making the big switch over to WWE.
"Bruce Prichard, we go way back to my Major League Wrestling days, absolutely. He's a huge fan of mine. I've been in this business for a long time since 2014, riding the roads. It's up to Tony Khan to decide what happens there, and that's why I don't get into ratings talk."
Do you see MJF getting picked up by WWE in the future?
