Tony Khan has no issues with MJF addressing his issues on screen.
While speaking on today’s AEW Double Or Nothing Media Call, AEW President Tony Khan stated that he doesn’t mind MJF talking about his contract issues on television. In fact, he welcomes it.
Wrestling thrives when real life meets on-screen. The real-life conflict is often just as exciting as any conflict on-screen, which is one of the good things about what AEW has brought to the wrestling business. There was no real, major free agent market with the top stars crossing promotions, debuting, and frankly the competition needed to be brought to the biggest stage. With the 90s, we had TBS and TNT in the wrestling game. With the launch of AEW, we’ve been able to bring that back. Taking what is happening in real with potential movement and contract negotiations is exciting.
Adding another element to what will be a very exciting match at Double or Nothing with Wardlow and MJF, who has been very vocal, not only about his own contract but about his former bodyguard and how he feels and he’s tried to hold down his career. For Wardlow, this is a huge opportunity to officially be part of AEW and to shed an image that he’s just MJF’s heavy and MJF’s thug. For MJF, it’s been a great opportunity to not only air some real-life grievances and air his actual status, contractually or otherwise. People are really excited about the fight at Double or Nothing on Sunday.”

As Khan says, MJF and Wardlow are set to square off this Sunday at AEW Double Or Nothing. Time will tell if MJF decides to leave or remain when his contract expires.
