MJF Says He Has Not Signed Any Contract Extension Yet With AEW

AEW has welcomed several top WWE stars, including former world champions and Hall of Famers. But not many have made the switch in the opposite direction. WWE has signed some talent like Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, and Brian Pillman Jr., but they missed out on others like Brian Cage and Kenny Omega.

However, there’s one star who could become WWE’s biggest signing if he decides to leave AEW: the current AEW World Champion, MJF. Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who is only 27, has already proven himself as an exceptional talent both on the mic and in the ring.

MJF has dedicated himself to becoming a top-notch pro wrestler over the years, and many fans recognize his commitment. He’s currently the AEW World Champion and is having a remarkable run in AEW. Nevertheless, MJF has revealed that he hasn’t extended his contract with the company yet, and it’s set to expire in a few months.

MJF has turned his contract situation into a storyline on AEW television. He has often made references to WWE, including mentioning Nick Khan, Triple H, and Vince McMahon.

Friedman has previously teased a “Bidding War of 2024,” and it now seems like a bidding war could indeed be on the horizon. When asked about his thoughts on the company’s next move in an interview with WrestlePurists, MJF emphasized that signing a new deal should be a priority for AEW. He confirmed that he hasn’t signed an extension yet.

Regarding the possibility of a bidding war in 2024, MJF replied, “Potentially, with a capital P.”

MJF and CM Punk had a highly acclaimed feud in early 2022, culminating in a brutal dog collar match at Revolution pay-per-view. While many fans hoped for a rematch after Punk returned from injury with the “real” AEW World Championship, it never materialized before Punk was released from the company.

In the same interview, MJF addressed the situation, stating that Punk’s presence helped the success of AEW Collision. He expressed his willingness to let Punk hold his version of the title, understanding the importance of Collision’s success.

Even Cody Rhodes recently mentioned that MJF could become a big star in WWE. MJF has also told WWE talent that he’s looking forward to joining the company in 2024. However, there are doubts about whether MJF could have a significant impact on WWE. Ultimately, it remains uncertain whether MJF will make the move to WWE next year.
