He said on former AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF;

“It’s something to keep an eye on with MJF. He’s a great wrestler for AEW and has been a great world champion. He was very injured and I would love to have MJF back anytime and we’ll see what happens here.”

On former Women's World Champion Britt Baker, he noted;

“Britt Baker’s been out. She was injured and there’s a lot of times we have a lot of great wrestlers out injured. So I think this year will be great, not only for the great free agents, but also for some of the stars that have been side-lined coming back.”

Baker last wrestled on the September 16th 2023 edition of Collision, and hasn't been used in any major capacity since then, and had initially taken to X to note her apparent frustrations with not being used before there was public mention of any injuries. Meanwhile, MJF last appeared on screen at AEW's World's End pay-per-view in December. 'The Salt Of The Earth' lost the AEW Championship to Samoa Joe and has been written off television as part of a storyline with The Undisputed Kingdom and/or a continuation of his 'Bidding War Of 2024' contract story.
