MJF Claims He Has Not Signed A New AEW Contract

MJF is the current AEW World Champion, but he’s been talking about the bidding war of 2024 for quite some time now. He hasn’t been shy about teasing a jump to WWE while claiming that he’s interested in signing with whoever offers him the most money.

It was recently reported that MJF quietly signed a new deal with All Elite Wrestling. However, the current AEW World Champion claimed that he has not signed a new deal yet during an appearance on the SI Media Podcast.

“I’ve been saying the same thing [about my contract expiration date]. I never lied. January 1st, 2024. When stuff like that gets leaked out, it makes me laugh because I remember something leaked out about Cody [Rhodes] having secretly re-signed and then he showed up [in WWE]. Something got leaked out about, you know, CM Punk and Tony Khan or you know… I think fans leak out things that they want to be true. I love AEW, I wanna stay in AEW. After this pay-per-view [Worlds End], it’s time to assess the situation for a professional setting. So… not yet [I haven’t re-signed].”

MJF hasn’t mentioned the bidding war of 2024 nearly as much since he turned babyface months ago, but it seems that it’s still a talking point for him. Currently MJF is set to defend his AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe at the upcoming World’s End pay-per-view, so it will be interesting to see how things play out and if MJF’s claim about not signing a new deal is simply part of storyline plans for him.

Stay tuned for updates.
