I think so … A lot of people say if he goes to WWE he’ll get buried, but I think that if MJF went to WWE he would be one of the biggest stars this world has ever seen.” According to Booker, a lot of guys who had made the jump from WWE to TNA during that time were making “a boatload of money,” as opposed to those who had been there since the beginning. “You had those originals there like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and those guys … they were getting like the crumbs,” Booker said.

MJF To Appear And Cut Promo On Tonight's AEW Dynamite (TheSportster)

Despite rumors he's unhappy in AEW, MJF is going to appear on tonight's episode of Dynamite and cut a promo for some very intrigued fans.

While MJF cutting a promo is always interesting, one has to assume Tony Khan is aware of what will be said on tonight's program. What fans also know is that he's bound to say something controversial and the list of people he might call out could be endless. This weekend's Double or Nothing event was a huge success but overshadowing the show was the status of MJF. It appears he's going to spill the beans on Wednesday, perhaps offering up a bit of a hint as to what all really went down.

The MJF Situation Is a Major Test for AEW's Relationship With Its Fans (Sports Illustrated)

The biggest story coming out of AEW's Double or Nothing weekend in Las Vegas was the future of its top heel, and arguably the top heel in all of pro wrestling, ...

And they did that because they trusted that AEW was going to deliver—you don’t spend that kind of money with the expectation you are going to be screwed. And the key to this story is that 15,000 fans managed to buy tickets to this sold-out show, and thousands and thousands more wanted to but were unable to, and they spent their money not knowing for sure that Punk was going to be there. This was supposed to be Wardlow’s big day, the biggest win of his life and a star-making performance, but in the end, all people were talking about was MJF. Luckily, MJF was stretchered out in story line afterward, so at the very least they can strap the rocket to Wardlow beginning with this week’s Dynamite. Even when AEW kicked off, he was rightfully skeptical, since the story of “there is a new promoter who has a lot of money who is getting into the business and wants to compete with Vince!” is a story as old as time, and one after another after another has crashed and burned, sometimes spectacularly. In the end, although Pillman convinced Bischoff that they were working together, the only person it benefited was Pillman, when—and this is true—he convinced Bischoff that in order to get the angle over Bischoff should give him a legitimate release from WCW, which Bischoff did, at which point Pillman went and signed with WWF. There is one key difference between Bischoff and Khan, and that is that Khan isn’t telling everyone that this is all real—instead, it appears he’s just not telling anyone anything. In the mid-1990s, Brian Pillman created a “loose cannon” character where the intent was clear: to up his worth and sell to the highest bidder, whether that be WWF or WCW. But by creating a “worked shoot” story line that the company pretended was real, and in doing so lying to all of the wrestlers and WCW employees, promoter Eric Bischoff destroyed their trust in him to the detriment of his company.

Fortunately, an uncensored version of the promo's ending made its way online and you can check it out below.

AEW news: Angry MJF curses Tony Kahn, demands to be fired (ClutchPoints)

MJF's appearance in AEW Dynamite didn't disappoint, as the wrestling superstar unloaded several scathing remarks toward Tony Khan.

MJF cursed at Khan in AEW Dynamite and even demanded the big boss to “fire” him. However after his appearance in this week’s AEW Dynamite, it’s hard to tell whether he’ll still be in the promotion. Heck, it’s even hard to determine whether it is all just part of the theatrics of professional wrestling or there is really a strained relationship with MJF and the AEW president.

MJF said he doesn’t want to wait until 2024 and he wants Khan to fire him. MJF said he doesn’t watch New Japan and he doesn’t chase star ratings and he’s the best in the world and he doesn’t have to do a “bunch of bullsh**” to make the fans feel something and he’s still taken for granted. MJF said the boys in the back are also the problem and they can have his spot because he doesn’t want to be here anymore.

MJF Demands To Be Fired On 6/1 AEW Dynamite (Wrestlezone)

After a weekend of unknowns surrounding MJF and his status with All Elite Wrestling, the superstar arrived at AEW Dynamite tonight.

MJF went on to say that no one is on his level, that everything he touches turns to gold, and that he hits grand slams on a weekly basis. He says he hears boos and clapping; he wonders where those fans were when they were calling him unprofessional. He says when this company started, it was All Friends Wrestling, so he had to write his own ticket.

Back in the ring, Moxley suplexed Garcia and then hit him with elbows to the head. Once on the stage, music played and then Wardlow headed to the ring where his opponent was waiting… Hogan got in the face of Athena. Anna Jay and Kris Statlander came out to side with Athena. Referees and producers ran out to keep the women apart. She walked out with Stokely Hathaway, Kiera Hogan, and Red Velvet. Hathaway referred to himself as Cargill’s publicist and referred to her as a queen, a goddess, and the TBS Champion. Hathaway said he knew Athena wanted her title shot. MJF said he’s the best in the world because he makes people feel and he doesn’t do a bunch of bullshit to get the fans there. Hardy tried and failed to do the same to Hikuleo. After a little help from Cage, Hardy was able to put the big man down with a Twist of Fate. Hardy and Christian cleared Hikuleo from the ring. A worked up Jericho granted them the Blood and Guts match, then said he would shave Ortiz’s head. Menard took his turn on the mic and said nobody does it better than JAS. Jericho said he knows the fans wanted to sing, but they don’t deserve it. MJF said the problem with Khan is that he has a position of power in the wrestling company when the only position he should be assuming is behind the guardrail with all the fans. He returned to the ramp and took a knee with the belt over his shoulder and then he was joined by the FTR duo of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler before they all headed to the ring. Punk said he knows he has to get better and that’s what the championship is all about. MJF said the other wrestlers get to settle for being great, but he has to be perfect.
