MJF has been pictured with a top WWE star as he continues to eye a switch to the sports entertainment giant.
Despite returning to AEW at All Out and causing quite the stir in the process, MJF has resumed his favourite pastime of teasing a switch to WWE.
Following his comeback at All Out the star took centre stage on Dynamite where he suggested that he might soon be joining up with a “real” wrestling company and the likes of Cody Rhodes, Triple H and “jolly old Saint Nick [Khan].”
Since that promo he has continued to reference the “bidding war of 2024,,” with that being when his AEW contract runs out. In addition he has posted a number of photos with WWE personalities and people affiliated with the company. The star recently took to social media to share a snap with Peter Rosenberg, who he described as “one of the best wrestling journalists.”
The Salt of the Earth has now been pictured with another WWE star in the form of SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan. The WWE Superstar shared the photo on her Twitter account with the caption “better than you.”

Speaking in a recent interview MJF claimed that he had struck a new deal with AEW President Tony Khan to return to the company at All Out. Importantly, this deal didn’t include an extension, meaning his contract still expires in January 2024.
Upon returning to the company, the Plainview, New York native won the Casino Ladder Match with help from The Firm to earn a shot at the AEW World Championship. This has put the star on a collision course with Jon Moxley after the Blackpool Combat Club member became a three-time champion at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.
