MJF on AEW’s success in 2026: “If I leave, this company’s f*cking done”
While speaking to Denise Salcedo, AEW World Champion MJF stated the following in regards to a potential run with WWE…
“You can’t say never in wrestling. It’s pro wrestling. Somebody who I hate once said they would never go there, and they went there, so you never know.
But again, if you ask me my honest, genuine opinion, is All Elite Wrestling’s my company. I’m the biggest star that this company has. I’m the star that this company needs. If I leave, this company’s f*cking done, if we’re just being honest.
Nobody creates as much buzz as me. Nobody’s as big of a draw as me. Nobody’s as good as me in the ring or on the microphone.
So yeah, I just don’t think it would be conducive to the sport of professional wrestling — which frankly, whether I want to admit it or not, I love very much — if I went there.
If I want there to be an alternative, the alternative needs to have a tippy-top act that has managed to get his name outside of the wrestling bubble.
You’re looking at a guy who was in the most streamed Netflix movie of all time. You’re looking at a guy who’s got a Universal movie coming out in December, Violent Night 2. And I have a lot of things that I can’t talk about at this moment that are also irons in the fire in Hollywood.
So things are big right now, and I’m proud to be unequivocally the reason that AEW is so successful in 2026.”
