On the SI Media Podcast, MJF addressed his current contract status with AEW.
The AEW World Heavyweight Champion has stopped talking about how his AEW deal is up in January 2024, leading to speculation that he may have signed a new deal with AEW.
“I’ve never lied,” he began. “January 1, 2024. When stuff like that gets leaked out, it makes me laugh because I remember something got leaked out about Cody having secretly re-signed, and then he showed up. Somebody got leaked out about, you know, CM Punk and Tony Khan, you know, actually fine, everything. You know? I think fans leak out things that they want to be true. I love AEW. I want to stay in AEW. After this pay-per-view, it’s time to assess the situation from a professional setting.”
The host asked whether or not he had re-signed with AEW. He responded, “Not yet.”
