MJF’s Contract Status with AEW: Still Under Contract Despite Removal from Roster Page
Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF, has been a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since its inception. However, fans have recently noticed that MJF’s name has been removed from the roster page on AEW’s website. This has led to speculation about his contract status and future with the company.
Despite his absence from the roster page, PWInsider has reported that MJF is still under contract with AEW. This news comes as a relief to many fans who have been eagerly awaiting his return to the ring. It appears that MJF’s removal from the website was simply an administrative oversight and does not reflect any changes in his contractual obligations.
One possible reason for MJF’s absence from AEW programming is his ongoing recovery from multiple injuries. Wrestling is a physically demanding sport, and injuries are not uncommon. It is crucial for wrestlers to take the necessary time to heal and rehabilitate before returning to the ring. While the exact nature of MJF’s injuries has not been disclosed, it is clear that he has been working hard to recover and get back into fighting shape.
Despite his absence from recent events, MJF did meet with AEW officials the day after the ‘Big Business’ themed episode of AEW Dynamite in Boston. This suggests that he is actively involved in discussions and planning for his future with the company. It is likely that he is working closely with AEW management to determine the best time for his return and to ensure that he is fully prepared to compete at the highest level.
The exact timeline for MJF’s return remains uncertain. As fans eagerly await his comeback, it is important to remember that injuries can be unpredictable, and recovery timelines can vary. AEW has a strong track record of prioritizing the health and well-being of its talent, so it is likely that they will take a cautious approach to MJF’s return, ensuring that he is fully healed and ready to compete before making his comeback.
In the meantime, fans can continue to enjoy MJF’s past matches and promos, which have solidified his reputation as one of the most talented and charismatic performers in AEW. His sharp wit, arrogant demeanor, and impressive in-ring skills have made him a fan favorite and a top contender for championship titles.
While MJF’s absence may be disappointing for fans, it is important to remember that injuries are a part of the wrestling industry. The most important thing is for wrestlers to prioritize their health and well-being, and AEW has shown a commitment to supporting its talent in this regard.
As MJF continues his recovery and works towards his return, fans can look forward to seeing him back in action, bringing his unique brand of entertainment and athleticism to the AEW ring once again.
