While speaking with Variety, AEW President Tony Khan discussed his relationship with MJF, who returned after being on a hiatus at All Out by being revealed as the joker in the Casino Ladder match.
Khan praised MJF for having everything you need to be a top star.
“It’s very professional,” Khan said of his current relationship with MJF. “He’s been part of AEW from day one, and he’s one of the most important stars on our TV show. … Whether you love MJF or love to hate MJF, I think he’s one of the wrestlers who’s connected with the audience in recent years and made himself a star. He’s also had the company behind him to help build him and support him. I think that he is the total package of everything it takes to be a successful pro wrestler. I think he has it all. He’s a really important part of AEW.”
MJF will wrestle Wheeler Yuta in the opening match on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.
