MJF To Speak Live On Tonight’s AEW Dynamite

AEW has announced that MJF will speak live on tonight’s (June 1) episode of AEW Dynamite following the ongoing saga with him and the company.

If you need a reminder of the situation that unfolded throughout Double Or Nothing weekend, see below:

MJF no-showed a meet & greet on Saturday night and wasn’t picking up his phone, and was spotted playing slots in a Mandalay Bay casino when the meet & greet was supposed to be happening
It then emerged that a flight out of Las Vegas to Newark had been booked in MJF’s name
MJF didn’t board said flight, and stayed in Las Vegas
Throughout Sunday before Double Or Nothing, AEW took down, and then put back up, previews of his match against Wardlow, as there were still doubts over whether it would be happening
The match did happen and opened the show – MJF was squashed and stretchered out, leading to speculation he’d been written out of AEW, either permanently, or at least until the situation is resolved
After the show, it emerged that MJF showed up at “the last minute” – while the Buy-In was on the air to be specific – and left straight after the match was finished
In the post-show media scrum, Tony Khan declined to comment on the situation
PWInsider then reported that MJF was not expected to be attending AEW shows for at least several weeks, possibly longer
MJF was then spotted in LAX the day before AEW Dynamite was being held in the city
The day of Dynamite, it was reported that MJF had met with AEW management the day after Double Or Nothing
AEW then officially announced he would be appearing on Dynamite
This all stems from a contract dispute from a couple of months ago that seems to have developed into even more general unhappiness and conflict between parties
This situation did not start out as a work, but if both sides come to an agreement and make good with each other, it could be turned into one
