MJF comments on if he considered going to WWE instead of signing a long-term contract extension with AEW

While speaking to SI.com, MJF commented on if he considered going to WWE instead of signing a long-term contract extension with AEW…

“Of course there was. Am I going to get into the weeds? No. At this point in time, this move made the most sense for me. I’m making a ton of f—— money. As far as when the contract ends, that’s nobody’s business but my own.”

“Can you remember the last time someone became a household name and arenas in WWE were chanting their name when they zero exposure elsewhere? We’re talking the Crockett era, aren’t we? I take pride in that. AEW is my territory. But I’m a name in every territory because I made professional wrestling my b—-. MJF made MJF. And you know what’s crazy? I’m still evolving. Nobody really knows me 100 percent ever, and nobody ever will. To coin a line from one of the greats, if there’s one thing for sure about MJF, nothing’s for sure.”

““Cody Rhodes is a mentor of mine. I f—— love the guy. I love the Rhodes-a-coaster. But when Triple H is doing an interview on one of the biggest sports shows, whose name were they cheering in the background? My name. I’m not just the biggest star in AEW. I’m one of the biggest stars in the history of the f—— business.””
