MJF on AEW in 2026: “We have bar none the best wrestling on television, it’s not even close”

Sorry. Now, WWE has incredible wrestlers, they’re putting on great matches. TNA has great wrestlers, they’re putting on great matches. NXT has great wrestlers, they’re putting on great matches. But I can look in this camera and say point blank, I feel we put on the best matches.

I feel that it’s not just a tagline, ‘We’re the best wrestle,’ it’s a fact. And You know, it’s gotten to the point now because of the black eyes that were created in the past, right? Which you’ve discussed ad nauseam on your shows. It was AEW bad for a while just ’cause after the black eyes. Now there was a reason to say AEW bad because some bullsh*t was going on.

In 2026, there’s nothing to say, man. We’re putting on great show after great show. We were up in houses year over year in most territories in the US. Pay-per-view buy rates are up, and I’m about to be in the main event of the second biggest grossing domestic pay-per-view in the history of our company. Now, in speaking about the history of our company, what I think is so cool when you go to social media now, if there is a post that says AEW bad, it used to just be like, ‘yeah, you’re right, screw AEW, I’m just gonna stick with my TNA, my MLW, my WWE, what have you.’

Now it’s like Mm, you’re not watching the show. Just say you’re not watching the show, ’cause you’re clearly not watching the show. ‘Oh, I watch the show.’ Okay, what’s happening? Bullsh*t.

Bullsh*t. Oh, alright, so you don’t watch the show, and that’s fine, right? Now, I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that our show is for everybody. No product is for everybody. But we are white hot right now because we’re having incredible matches, we have incredible rivalries, and we put on incredible pay-per-views.

And I genuinely feel that we have the best wrestling show weekly.”
