Max Jacob Friedman, or MJF, has made a bold statement about his future in the wrestling world, leaving fans and industry insiders curious about his next move. In a recent interview, MJF took a subtle dig at WWE, the biggest name in professional wrestling, and explained why he doesn't think he'll ever leave AEW (All Elite Wrestling).
MJF's argument revolves around the accessibility and inclusivity of AEW compared to WWE. He pointed out that unlike WWE, AEW doesn't price its tickets out of reach for the average fan. "Unlike WWE, you don’t have to sell the soul of your firstborn to buy a ticket," he said. "There are normal prices. You go to AEWtix.com or Ticketmaster.com. We don’t discriminate against the poors, the same way the world champ does - I hate you people. But look, somebody’s gotta pay daddy’s bills, and that’s gonna be people like you, Adrian."
But MJF's comments go beyond just ticket prices. He also emphasized his freedom and autonomy within AEW, which he believes is crucial for his success. "What keeps me in AEW is my ability to be myself; there’s no leash on me," he said. "I don’t have to worry about anyone sitting me down and telling me what I am doing right or wrong. My boss knows I am the draw. I have the World title right now. Ratings are up, ticket sales are up. I wonder why? He lets me do my thing. So, I don’t think I’ll ever leave."
While MJF's comments are intriguing, it's important to remember that wrestling is a business where anything can happen. As we’re frequently told, never say never. Despite his current commitment to AEW, a future run in WWE for the two-time AEW World champ can't be ruled out. So, what’s your take on MJF’s latest quotes?
