MJF says Aleister Black was the biggest offender among people that had to be “weeded out” of AEW

Ariel: “How do you feel like we got to that point?”

MJF: “People had to get weeded out.”

Ariel: “Can I ask, like, who was the biggest offender of this?”

MJF: “You want me to say a name?”

Ariel: “Sure. You told me to ask you the hard questions.”

MJF: “The biggest offender?”

Ariel: “Yeah. Who came in there thinking, ‘I’m just gonna use you all as a stepping stone to go back to New York [WWE]’?”

And then they went over there and some of them found out the grass isn’t greener. And perhaps some of them did. Some of them, for them, the grass was greener. But I’d say a majority of the guys that were like, ‘I’m just gonna use All Elite Wrestling to go to WWE’ or to go back to WWE, I think you’re going to see a lot of those guys ask for a 50% pay cut from the office. You’re going to see a lot of those guys just get released.

And it’s unfortunate because if you show up to our company and you work hard, there’s really no need to burn bridges. I’m not sh*tting on him. I’m just simply telling you what I was told by a majority of the locker room about this specific individual.”
