There is an update on MJF’s AEW contract situation with the reaction from the locker room after news of his frustration with his deal.
As previously mentioned, Fightful Select reported that MJF remains frustrated with his current deal with All Elite Wrestling and is leaning towards not resigning with the company when his contract expires in 2024.
According to Will Washington on Fightful’s Grapsody Podcast, a source in AEW says there aren’t many people in the locker room on Maxwell Jacob Friedman’s side in this situation.
The source said:
“Changing the terms of an existing deal would set a horrible precedent.”
It seems like Tony Khan doesn’t have an issue giving the star a raise, but he wants to do so with an extension of his current deal, while MJF doesn’t want to extend and wants his free agency in 2024.

So Tony Khan doesn’t have an issue giving MJF a raise, however he’s asking MJF to sign for more years to get the raise and MJF doesn’t want to.
