AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke with the podcast “Going Ringside” about AEW-related topics.
MJF was removed from the AEW website roster on January 1st. Despite rumors that he had re-signed with the company, MJF has stated that he has not signed a new contract with AEW. He is not expected to return to television for quite some time, possibly until the end of the year if he undergoes shoulder surgery.
When asked about MJF’s status and removal from the AEW website roster by host Scott Johnson, Khan stated the following:
“I can say that MJF certainly has been a great part of AEW for the first five years. And through those five years, certainly, he’s been one of our great homegrown stars…and he’s somebody we really value and I would love to have MJF in AEW in the future, should the contractual situation allow.”
When asked if this is an ongoing discussion with MJF, Khan said, “Certainly MJF is somebody we would love to have an AEW going forward. And he’s been a great wrestler and a great champion for us.”
