"He’ll be in WWE one day" - Fans are not convinced by a top star claiming choosing AEW was an easy decision

Fans react after a top AEW star made a bold statement regarding why he chose to re-sign with the Jacksonville-based promotion over WWE. The star being discussed is MJF.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman started his career in the promotion as a cornerman to Cody Rhodes and rose his way to the top. He also teased starting a bidding war in 2024 when his contract was about to expire. After being absent from the company for six months, he returned to action and revealed he had re-signed with the All Elite Wrestling.

In a recent interview, The Wolf of Wrestling explained that he decided to sign with the Jacksonville-based promotion as Tony Khan offered him more money and said "It's where the best wrestle".

Fans believe that MJF would still become a WWE star in the future. Many were also upset about WWE failing to sign The Wolf of Wrestling when the opportunity presented itself. Several also believed he would have a better career under Triple H's regime.
