Stokely Hathaway – ‘The Firm Had No Idea MJF Would Be Returning At All Out 2021’

At the AEW All Out 2021 pay-per-view event, reigning AEW World Champion MJF made his return and he had some backup in the form of The Firm.

Speaking on a recent edition of the “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Stokely Hathaway revealed that nobody in The Firm besides himself knew that the Salt of the Earth would be appearing under a mask to win the Casino Ladder Match.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On no one else in the group being in the know: “I felt bad, I wouldn’t say lying, but I knew for a certain period of time that Max was coming back. I knew that he was coming back, but it’s not up to me to tell other people. Plus, I was sworn to secrecy, and I wanted this act to play out. As you know, you tell one person, they tell this person, and everyone knows. No one else in the group knew until a few minutes after we did the ladder deal.”

On what he told people if they asked him what he knew: “I would just say, ‘Oh, I don’t know. Little old me? I have no clue.’ Afterward, we went into this tour bus and Max was hidden in this tour bus, and that’s when everyone else found out what the plan was.”
