MJF Comments On The ‘Bidding War Of 2024’ & WWE Interest

AEW American Champion MJF has commented on ‘winning’ the bidding war of 2024 and interest in him from WWE.

Over the past few years, MJF had been hyping up the ‘bidding war of 2024’ on AEW television, with that being the date that his AEW contract was set to expire.

The bidding war ultimately didn’t end up happening, as MJF reportedly re-signed with the company long-term back in 2022, for a significant increase in pay.

In an exclusive interview with WrestleTalk, MJF commented on the bidding war, and how he ‘won’ the war after re-signing with AEW.

He said:

“I won. I’m f**king rich as shit. It’s f**king crazy dude. I literally… you don’t f**king understand… I have so much money. It’s hilarious. The whole locker room f**king hates me because they all know how much I’m making, and they… it’s peanuts in comparison.

“And I’m only 28. So you’ve got guys walking around in their 40s that have given their body to this industry, they’re like dying practically, and they aren’t even making a fraction of what I make. It’s f**king great.

“Tony… I mean, my god, my god, showed me the number – signed fast. Fast. Anyway, so yes, I won, to answer your question.

When asked about whether or not he held talks with WWE ahead of the bidding war, he said:

“I can’t answer that (if he had talks with WWE) for legal reasons, because if I did have conversations with WWE, that would be considered what? (Contract tampering.)”
