Ahead of his AEW Dynamite comeback tonight, MJF had a lot to say in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.

At the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event, MJF returned and laid out Adam Cole before cutting a promo about how he’s back to his old self and confirming a new contract with AEW. MJF was asked if he had ever considered joining WWE.

MJF replied, โ€œOf course there was. Am I going to get into the weeds? No. At this point in time, this move (staying with AEW) made the most sense for me. Iโ€™m making a ton of f*cking money. As far as when the contract ends, thatโ€™s nobodyโ€™s business but my own.โ€

Many fans interpreted Triple H’s decision to wear a denim/leather jacket at Double or Nothing as a dig at him, as he wore a similar jacket when he returned from a torn quad in 2002. Instead, it was a tribute to a memorable occasion for him.

According to MJF, โ€œThe jean jacket was over what I feel is my leather jacket, but that jean jacket was certainly an homage to a return that meant something to me when I was a kid in Madison Square Garden,โ€ said Friedman. โ€œIโ€™m sure people can connect the dots.โ€

MJF also discussed his belief that he is the biggest star in wrestling, his time with AEW, his relationship with Samoa Joe, and more.
