Booker T Believes MJF Is Not Being Mentioned By AEW Because He Called Out Older Talent Being Pushed

Booker T back at it again.

Since the start of last month, MJF has been off AEW television and has not been referenced once since his scathing pipe bomb promo on the post Double Or Nothing Dynamite. It is expected that MJF will return to AEW TV at the right time rather than rushing him back into the company.

While on “The Hall of Fame Podcast”, six-time World Champion and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T discussed older AEW roster members and their positioning in the company.

“You see the older guys just coming over to AEW, they’re the ones that’s getting the titles, they’re the ones that’s getting the push, you know what I mean?” Booker said. “Just like a Darby Allin, you know, where has his position been since the older guys came in?”

“It’s the reason why we haven’t seen MJF for a while,” Booker said. “It’s the reason why no one has said his name, okay? It’s the reason — Okay, and it’s not because this is a work. That’s not it, okay? It’s because somebody’s upset that older guys are coming in and getting pushed over the younger guys. Is it a work? We’ll find out in the long run.”

Time will tell if this will be the case but for now it looks like Booker believes there is more at work here than a simple shoot turned work.
