Many have speculated that after healing from his injuries, The Salt of the Earth will shock the world and show up in the WWE.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, Smart Mark Sterling called the rumors 'interesting' and stated that MJF's future in professional wrestling is bright.

Matt Morgan believes AEW star MJF will soon head to WWE
Former SmackDown star Matt Morgan believes that MJF could be thinking of moving to the WWE after watching WrestleMania XL, which was loaded with many shocking moments. MJF has reportedly been a free agent since January 1st, and many believe that he is WWE-bound.
Speaking on his Gigantic Pop podcast, Matt Morgan explained how this is the right time for Friedman to jump ship to the Stamford-based promotion.
"My head would explode if that happened. There's no way he watched WrestleMania and wasn't like, 'F**k! I need to be there.' There's no way. He's a true wrestling fan at heart. He works his a** off. He needs to be there dude, and we see WWE will give you a legit opportunity to be yourself whatever you played somewhere else (...) I know he watched it, but I hope he had that thought that like, 'I need to get the f**k out of here,'" Morgan said.
MJF has done it all in All Elite Wrestling. However, he still has some unfinished business with Adam Cole, who turned on him at the Worlds End PPV. It will be interesting to see how the storyline develops after Friedman's return.
