Over the last few years fans have seen a number of former WWE stars jump ship to AEW, but now it seems that WWE is interested in one of the top stars in All Elite Wrestling.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast is reporting that WWE is “very interested” in MJF. It was also noted that MJF’s recent comments about his AEW contract ending in 2024 got people at USA Network and FOX buzzing about his status.
It looks like MJF’s promo with CM Punk from November 17 got a lot of people talking as a source at the networks noted they stopped what they were doing to listen, and they haven’t done that with pro wrestling in a long time.
One source also noted MJF, “has everything we would want. It really depends on if he could be that same person on WWE TV. We want new stars to be the focus within the next few years. That’s the plan.”
MJF commented on the report when he teased that there will be a bidding war in 2024. Do you want to see MJF join WWE? Sound off in the comments below.
