10 Craziest Wrestling Rumors That Could Come True
8. MJF Joins WWE
In recent reports from Sportskeeda Wrestling, it's been revealed that Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the former AEW World Champion, hasn't inked a fresh deal with All Elite Wrestling just yet. This has sparked speculation about potential moves, including a shift to WWE. Neither MJF nor WWE has issued an official statement on the matter, but MJF's profile on the AEW website has been taken down.
In a recent chat on the SI Media Podcast, MJF spilled the beans, confirming no new AEW deal but expressing a preference for sticking around. However, grapevine from Haus of Wrestling suggests WWE insiders think MJF has secretly sealed the deal with AEW behind closed doors. After MJF's talk, Haus of Wrestling went back to WWE contacts for the lowdown.
One source dropped the storyline word, hinting MJF's comments might all be part of the show. Another said that they heard about MJF locking in a new AEW deal as far back as mid-2022, right after his return from a self-imposed break at the All Out pay-per-view.
MJF is known for blurring the lines between kayfabe and reality. So, are his words scripted or is he actually considering WWE? Time will tell.
