MJF made an appearance on Wrestling With Freddie on Tuesday. During the interview, MJF discussed his future and what could potentially happen when his current AEW deal is up in 2024
“I’m sure by the time 2024 rolls around, you will see people that were working in AEW already now potentially making the jump to WWE, but what you won’t see is the amount of money being thrown. When I tell you, and this is a straight fact, I know for a fact when 2024 rolls around, we’re talking millions of dollars here that I know for a fact that whoever owns WWE by then, we don’t know, is going to be willing to pay Maxwell Jacob Friedman.”

He added:
“I’m 25 right now. I’m a baby. When I’m 35, I’m still going to be a baby. I’m still going to be young. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena did not exit the pro wrestling landscape until their mid-thirties. They were not the titans they were in Hollywood until their mid to late thirties. I’m already telling you right now. I love wrestling. Wrestling is great. I’m going to continue to be the top name in the industry. Don’t get it twisted folks, I already am. People are referring to me as the top heel in professional wrestling, and I’m a baby.”

MJF also believes that WWE will do whatever it takes to get him to sign with the company
“I think WWE is going to be willing to do whatever it takes to jump ship because to have me is to have pretty much take a sniper rifle and shoot the heart of All Elite Wrestling. That’s what I am. I’m the glue. Everybody around me hates my guts. Everybody wants to punch me in the face. I am the top tier guy that everybody has a problem with.”
