Backstage News On WWE’s Interest In Signing MJF

MJF has been the talk of the wrestling world recently as he no showed a meet and greet over the weekend and it’s been widely reported that his relationship with AEW President Tony Khan has become strained.

For some time now MJF has been openly stating that he would consider going tot WWE when his contract with AEW expires. Wade Keller noted on PW Torch audio that MJF would likely be offered a lucrative contract and his recent behavior wouldn’t stop Vince McMahon from signing him.

“A source within WWE with knowledge of MJF’s stature among top WWE management indicates MJF is coveted and would likely be given a lucrative contract offer. In fact, it’s more than one source giving me information that with a big overlap on this. More than one source says that the treatment Cody has received by WWE on and off-air has given MJF a good impression of how he’d be featured in WWE if he were to make the jump. In other words, if Cody was buried or was given promises that weren’t kept, maybe MJF would be handling this differently.”

“One source in WWE told me that MJF is seen as such a commodity that his recent and tractable behavior on and off-air with AEW wouldn’t deter Vince McMahon from making him a lucrative offer. Although a falling out with AEW could take away considerable leverage for MJF, MJF’s value to WWE would remain high. They need people. He’s young, he’s good, and he’d be paid accordingly, regardless of his reputation in AEW. Now maybe that changes a little bit with the headache that Vince McMahon feels Sasha Banks and Naomi put him through, but maybe not. But his reputation, in general, might take a blow if details about his latest interactions with Khan and AEW reflect poorly on his professionalism.”

Stay tuned for more updates on the MJF situation as they become available.
