Update on MJF’s AEW status following World title loss
MJF could be off AEW programming for a period of time.
Fightful Select reported on Wednesday that, when asking about plans for MJF at the upcoming Redemption pay-per-view in Montreal, it was indicated that he could have a bit of time off television.
Fightful noted that it was only indicated that MJF could potentially take time off television and that it has not been confirmed he will do so. No timeframe was given for a possible absence.
The report continued that Fightful has been told MJF is still expected to factor into the AEW All In pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium on August 30.
Kenny Omega’s win over MJF at last week’s Dynamite Beach Break marked the 19th AEW World Championship title change. With no FIFA World Cup coverage, the show drew AEW’s largest audience in years. Our own Dave Meltzer published an article breaking down the show’s ratings, available to subscribers.
