MJF has emerged as one of the biggest and most narcissistic talents from the AEW roster who has proven his worth with the incredible run he had with the AEW World Championship until the end of last year.
At AEW Worlds End, The Salt of the Earth collided against Samoa Joe with his World Title on the line, despite going into the match with an injury. The ending of the bout saw Joe dethrone MJF for the championship and left beaten and battered at the hands of Adam Cole and his Undisputed Kingdom faction.
Since then, MJF has been absent from AEW television programming, sparking rumors of his potential exit from the company, amidst the onset of the famously dubbed ‘Bidding War of 2024’ between WWE and AEW.
It was later reported that MJF was taking time to heal injuries and also get treatment done for his shoulder. Another one suggested that MJF was still rehabbing, while his process of recovery was slower than expected.
However, according to a new report by PWInsider, there is a belief that Maxwell would continue to remain a top fixture for AEW and met with the company officials, a day after the Big Business event in Boston to possibly begin talks for a new contract.
“MJF is still working to recover from his multiple injuries. While he is not listed on the AEW roster, the belief is he remains locked into a deal with the company. The day after AEW Big Business, MJF was in Boston to meet with AEW officials. There is no word when he will be returning to the ring.”
With the report concluding that there is no timetable for the return of the former AEW World Champion, we will have to wait for MJF to be medically cleared and wrap up contract negotiations before seeing him again on their televised programming.
