WWE "Very Interested" In MJF
The Salt of the Earth has caught the eye of WWE, FOX and USA.
Unsurprisingly, WWE, FOX and USA are all highly interested in MJF.
As per Andrew Zarian over at the Wrestling Observer, "multiple people" within FOX and USA have reached out to Zarian to discuss the Salt of the Earth. It's said how MJF's ongoing rivalry with CM Punk has spiked a new level of interest in the Long Island native from non-wrestling fans at both networks.
Going even further, one network employee told Zarian that they stopped what they were doing to listen to MJF - which is something that person had not done with wrestling for a long time.
In terms of WWE, this report says WWE is "very interested" in bringing MJF to the company if at all possible. When Zarian reached out to one of his WWE sources, they informed him that the networks have likewise reached out to Vince McMahon's sports entertainment giant to discuss Maxwell Jacob Friedman. That source said MJF has everything WWE would want in a talent, but the concern was whether he could be that same person in WWE.
MJF has been with AEW since the promotion began, and he's continued to showcase what made him such a standout in MLW prior to becoming #AllElite. If Max is to believed, his current AEW deal is up in 2024. Whether he'd have any interest in heading to WWE, that remains to be seen.
