MJF ends WWE speculation by re-signing with AEW in dramatic fashion
AEW star MJF has re-signed with the company after months of speculation about his future. The wrestler, known for his sharp tongue and in-ring talent, had hinted at a possible bidding war before his contract expired at the end of 2023. His return was confirmed at the Double or Nothing event, putting an end to rumours of a move to WWE. MJF’s contract negotiations became a major talking point in professional wrestling. He openly admitted that WWE would likely want him on their roster. While he never directly confirmed talks with the rival promotion, he suggested multiple companies were interested in securing his services.
The wrestler also reignited his feud with CM Punk during recent interviews. Despite calling Punk a 'piece of sh*t' and a 'bad guy,' MJF acknowledged his skills in the ring. He made it clear that his personal issues with Punk remained, even as he praised the former WWE champion’s wrestling ability. At *Double or Nothing*, MJF made a surprise return and announced he had re-signed with AEW. His decision ended months of uncertainty, with fans and analysts speculating about his next move. The wrestler had previously stated that his contract was set to expire, fuelling rumours of a potential departure.
MJF’s re-signing keeps one of AEW’s biggest stars in the promotion for the foreseeable future. His comments about WWE and CM Punk suggest ongoing tensions, both professionally and personally. The deal ensures he remains a key figure in AEW’s roster, at least for now.
