Tony Khan Says AEW Star Is ‘Very Hard To Work With’

AEW

AEW President Tony Khan has praised MJF for being a great wrestler, but has stated that he is ‘very hard to work with’.

Following reports that MJF was legitimately unhappy about his AEW contract, MJF cut a worked shoot promo on the June 1, 2022 edition of Dynamite ending with him daring Tony Khan to fire him.

MJF was not seen again until All Out that September, where he won the Casino Ladder match to earn a shot at the AEW World Title.

Following this, it was announced that MJF had signed a contract for more money, but not for any additional time, so that it’d still expire in 2024.

MJF, who won the AEW World Title at Full Gear 2022, is now set to defend his gold against Bryan Danielson in a 60 minute iron-man bout at the upcoming Revolution pay-per-view.

Speaking on K&C Masterpiece, Tony Khan praised both MJF and Danielson’s in-ring skills.

Also discussing MJF’s unlikability, Khan stated:

“He’s one of the most dislikable people there is. He elicits that emotion for a lot of people.

“He’s a very challenging personality and very hard to work with, but he’s a great professional wrestler.

We saw it last week, that incredible match to kick off Championship Fight Night on Dynamite. MJF is a great wrestler, he showed it out there one-on-one against (Konosuke) Takeshita.

“It’ll be the ultimate test for a champion, for a pro wrestler, on March 5 at Revolution, in the main event, a 60-minute Iron Man match when MJF goes one-on-one with the greatest technical wrestler in the world, maybe the greatest technical wrestler of all time, ‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson.

“MJF, if you don’t like him, get ready to see him get put through the ultimate test of punishment. We’ll see what kind of wrestler and champion he is. Knowing, as a fan, you’re going to see Bryan Danielson wrestle for 60 minutes, what a treat.”

AEW Revolution 2023 will emanate from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California on Saturday, March 5.
