Following last night’s segment on AEW Dynamite, MJF has been removed from the AEW roster.
The change happened sometime this afternoon as he is no longer listed on the AllEliteWrestling.com roster page with the rest of the talent. Earlier we noted that MJF’s merchandise was removed.
This appears to be a very elaborate worked shoot with the goal of bringing him back at some point. During the commercial break, something went down to hint at what is next for MJF in AEW. Click here for the spoiler.
For the newer fans, worked shoot angles have been done before. One of the most famous worked shoot angles involved Brian Pillman in 1996. In his situation, he worked everyone into thinking that he was fired by WCW. What ended up happening is he was able to convince Eric Bischoff to give him a legitimate release and work in WCW for a few shows. What ended up happening was Pillman signing a lucrative WWE contract.
Another worked shoot happened in 2011 when CM Punk dropped his pipebomb promo. That led to CM Punk winning the WWE Championship from John Cena on his “last night” with the company. Punk secretly signed a new deal but fans were led to believe that he was taking the title with him and leaving the company.
