Earlier this month at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view MJF successfully retained his AEW World Championship when he defended the belt against Bryan Danielson in the main event. MJF kicked off Dynamite this week with a celebration, but it was interrupted by Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy and Darby Allin.
During the segment Darby Allin took a shot at current AEW stars who don’t want to be with the company and go on Twitter to publicly complain about AEW. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that there’s some truth to what Darby Allin said as there are people who are currently with All Elite Wrestling that don’t want to be there.
“With the whole thing of Darby Allin talking about, ‘All these guys complain, all these guys wanna leave’ and everything like that. Okay, that’s true, but to talk about it on your own television show, basically by doing that, you’re telling people you’re the secondary company. We’ve seen this since May when this really started happening, and it’s done the company no good.”
“One of the weaknesses with AEW, two things, number one is that so much of the talent complains publicly, which makes the company look real bad, because there’s no fear.”
“There’s people who don’t wanna be there. And signed contracts because they didn’t think WWE wanted them, and then they had… some people have the WWE attitude coming in and some people don’t. Some people from WWE are tremendous assets to this company, and some people have been anything but that, and it’s a case-by-case basis.”
MJF has been openly saying for years now that he’s interested in going to WWE, and it was recently reported that he’s been telling people in WWE that he’s looking forward to joining the company in 2024. Whether or not that will actually happen remains to be seen. Stay tuned for updates.
