MJF is one of the featured stars in AEW right now and has been involved in high profile feuds since his debut last year. He was previously signed to MLW, where he was could not compete in WWE and Impact Wrestling due to his contract. However, as AEW was not a thing when the contract was signed, he was able to work for AEW on the first episode itself.
All Elite Wrestling were aware that they wanted to keep MJF signed for a long time and they did just that. MJF recently spoke to MMA Fighting, where he talked about his AEW contract and how the company trusts him. He then revealed that he has signed a five-year deal with the company.
“And if you don’t make it in AEW, the only person you have to blame is the person you see in the mirror. You’re not being held back in AEW, nobody’s handing me a script in AEW because they know if they did, I’d chew it up and spit in their face. That’s what All Elite Wrestling is. We’re all going out there and we’re doing our thing, we’re doing our version of what we feel the sport of professional wrestling is supposed to be and what I feel the sport of professional wrestling is supposed to be is just me, my face, 24/7 and if we can be honest here, it’s working out for All Elite Wrestling which is why they signed me to a five-year deal.”
He is currently a member of the Inner Circle and has a bright future ahead of him.
