His contract isn’t up until 2024, though.

I feel like at some point MjF should go there. Maybe not 2024, but the next round of negotiations after

[HMARK Center]

Good God, he'd be wasted.

He is gonna play into this hard as he should but MJF feels like an AEW lifer.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I'm sure there is some interest but even if there wasn't, you would leak this info to force AEW to pay more for him. I imagine he stays though. As long as he gets a good pay bump, he'll get way more creative freedom in AEW and work a lot less dates/wrestle a lot less.

Not a chance in hell he goes,why would he want to?

[kidkamikaze10]

Why? Miz is right there, and WWE doesn't care about the thing MJF has over Miz (way better wrestler).

[Mandarin Dessert Version 0]

Don't they already have someone like that who fits the trope of douchebag heel and has a name that consists of three letters that start with M?

If two of them exist in the same company, Vince's brain would shut down out of sheer confusion on who's who.

Perhaps they expect Miz to retire by then and MJF would take his slot.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

There isn't a single person in WWE with enough talent or intelligence to handle MJF.

They should feel bad for even wanting to try and sign him. They don't deserve anyone with a shred of talent.

"WWE interested in MJF". Well, that makes one of us, then.

[HMARK Center]

Word I read was also that Fox and Universal seemed interested in him; I'm sure that extends to many in WWE, but still.

Because Miz is 41 and MJF is 25, will be 28 when his contract expires, and could easily walk in to the company and be a top player immediately.

The article I read on F4WON said Fox, USA and WWE sources have all stated interest in MJF.

Andrew Zarian for F4Wonline.com

The past few weeks, I have been asked personally by multiple people within Fox and USA regarding current AEW roster member MJF as his program with CM Punk has brought in a new level of interest from non-pro wrestling followers at both networks.

I discussed this last night on We're Live, Pal, on YouTube, and how since that Punk promo, I was asked if MJF's contract with AEW is really up in 2024 as he had said previously (and reiterated as much Wednesday on Twitter).

An individual at one of those networks, who has been a very reliable source, told me, “I actually stopped what I was doing and listened to him. I don’t think I have done that with pro wrestling in a long time."

As I said last night, WWE is very interested in him. When I reached out to a source within WWE, they mentioned that the same conversations the networks have had have happened within the company regarding MJF in the past.

“He has everything we would want. It really depends on if he could be that same person on WWE TV," they said. “We want new stars to be the focus within the next few years. That's the plan.”

A pro since 2015, MJF made his AEW debut in 2019. He will face Dante Martin for the Dynamite Diamond ring on Wednesday's Winter Is Coming edition of Dynamite.

I'm not the biggest Zarian fan, but the dude does seem well connected to sources in the TV industry so I'll take him at his word on this one.

[Natural Born Farmer]

MJF would probably love being told to read G-rated barbs straight off the script.

I was him, I'd really consider what WWE did with EC3 once they had him.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

He's clearly talented enough to make it work, but I'm far past having faith in WWE to use anyone properly, let alone someone who thus far has had such an edge in their mic work as MJF.

[thehottag]

I swear to the Lord Almighty, if he goes there & they even think about having him say "you people", I may just implode with rage.

He's already mentioned the possibility of going to wwe at least twice. It'll probably be a big storyline. You'd have to assume if he's doing that and hasn't been stopped he has no intention of actually following through.
But a lot could change before then.

I think Prichard worked a bit with him in MLW so I can see him pushing to bring him in.

Because every wrestler in the world dreams of being dicked around creatively, sitting around in catering, being jobbed out to Roman Reigns, and then shitcanned? No?
