Tony Khan recently spoke with the “Going Ringside” podcast about a variety of AEW-related topics. On January 1st, MJF’s was removed from the AEW website roster. Despite rumors claiming that he re-signed with the company a while back, MJF has stated that he has not signed a new deal with AEW. He is not expected back on TV for a while and possibly until the end of the year if he gets shoulder surgery.
When asked by host Scott Johnson about MJF’s status and his removal from the AEW website roster, Khan said the following: “I can say that MJF certainly has been a great part of AEW for the first five years. And through those five years, certainly, he’s been one of our great homegrown stars…and he’s somebody we really value and I would love to have MJF in AEW in the future, should the contractual situation allow.”
When asked if this is an ongoing discussion with MJF, Khan said, “Certainly MJF is somebody we would love to have an AEW going forward. And he’s been a great wrestler and a great champion for us.”
The entire interview, which also covers AEW’s contract talks and the possibility of WWE and WBD working out a deal, can be watched below.
