MJF has commented on the possibility of working with Shane McMahon in AEW after McMahon had a meeting with AEW President Tony Khan at a private Arlington airport.
Since then, McMahon has released a statement about the meeting that you can read here, while Khan has also discussed it, noting that they had a conversation about working with family and wrestling.
As previously reported, McMahon has tried to return to the WWE, but those in the promotion have no interest in him returning. Talent in WWE believes Shane will at least make an appearance in AEW.
While speaking with Cultaholic Wrestling, MJF was asked about it. Here are the highlights:
On potentially wrestling McMahon: “I think it would be bad for Shane McMahon’s mental health to get in a ring with me on a microphone or bell to bell. So my answer is yes, because I would have the time of my life but my answer also just because I’m so salt to the earth is I think for the first time in my career maybe I’d feel bad.”
On his reaction to seeing a photo of the meeting. “He’s a f**king mark. I mean, yeah, that was my reaction. I don’t respect either of them. I respect the fact that I am the highest-paid athlete in my company. Rightfully so. Outside of that, and the money stuff. I don’t know, man.”
