MJF's Recent Comments on Former AEW Talent in WWE: A Mixed Bag
AEW, the popular professional wrestling promotion, has seen a fair share of talent swaps between itself and its rival, WWE, since its inception in 2019. While some wrestlers have thrived in their new environment, others have struggled to make a significant impact. MJF, the AEW World Champion, recently commented on this dynamic, particularly regarding the challenges faced by former AEW stars in WWE.
In an interview with the New York Post to promote the upcoming Double or Nothing PPV, MJF discussed the recent momentum shift within AEW, crediting it to the collective effort of the promotion's workforce. He contrasted this with the company's struggles just a few years ago, when a divided locker room led to poor business performance. MJF then took a veiled shot at some former AEW talents who have since joined WWE, suggesting that their move may not have been as beneficial as they initially thought.
MJF's statement was intriguing, as he hinted at certain individuals who, in his opinion, did not advance their careers by leaving AEW. He mentioned that these 'problem children' often find their way out, and some of them, in his view, took lateral or backward steps rather than forward ones. This comment sparked curiosity among fans, especially those who have seen the struggles of some former AEW stars in WWE, such as Aleister Black, Rusev, Ricky Saints, and Mariah May.
The recent controversy surrounding WWE's treatment of Mariah May, now known as Blake Monroe, has further fueled discussions. Fans have criticized WWE for placing her in the Speed Title Tournament, which has led to a lack of impact for her character. MJF's comments, while subtle, have added to the ongoing debate about the challenges faced by wrestlers transitioning between promotions.
