Huge Update On MJF Returning To AEW

AEW

The AEW and MJF drama seems like it was 5 years ago, given how much of a newsworthy summer has happened in the world of wrestling.

MJF has not appeared on AEW television since he cut his now famous promo on the Dynamite show after Double or Nothing, with many fans expecting him to reappear on TV soon.

AEW announcing CM Punk and Jon Moxley’s match for next week’s AEW Dynamite led to speculation that the winner would be facing MJF at All Out instead.

Dave Meltzer provided an update in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, noting that MJF is currently scheduled to return somewhat soon to the company.

The reasoning being that AEW’s TV negotiations are set to be taking place in a few months, so the company needs ‘all hands on deck’ during that time.

He wrote:

MJF is currently scheduled to be returning somewhat soon. We don’t know the exact time but the negotiations for a new TV deal will likely be taking place starting in just a few months and into the spring, so the TV ratings numbers probably September to whenever the deal is closed are the most important to date so this recent drop is the worst time to have a drop. The landscape change of WWE becoming the “cool” promotion came at a bad time and AEW basically needs all hands on deck.

CM Punk himself is currently in the news, as there are people backstage in AEW who were reportedly worried he would quit the company this week.
