Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) has been officially removed from the All Elite Wrestling roster page.
The recently concluded Worlds End Pay-Per-View saw MJF face Samoa Joe in the main event, with his AEW World Title on the line. After a back-and-forth encounter, Joe choked out Friedman to become the topmost champion in the promotion.
Post-match, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, The Kingdom, and Wardlow were revealed as The Devil and his henchmen, and they laid waste to Friedman to end the show.
MJF, seemingly a free agent from January 1, 2024, has now been removed from the roster page of the Jacksonville-based promotion. It was reported by Fightful following the Worlds End PPV that the former AEW World Champion is expected to take some time off to deal with multiple injuries.
