I honestly feel like he's even kind of alluded to the fact that he's re-signed in some of his post-show promos. I distinctly remember him dropping a kind of tongue-in-cheek "Tony Khan has made me a very rich man" line in one of those promos a couple of months ago. I think on-air and off-air even his stance is to say that he was given a big raise to come back but without having added any time to his deal. In reality, I’m assuming he did sign an extension.

I distinctly remember him dropping a kind of tongue-in-cheek "Tony Khan has made me a very rich man" line in one of those promos a couple of months ago. In kayfabe it was established that Tony gave MJF the extra money on his deal to get him to come back. In reality, I'd be very surprised if he hasn't already signed. Edit: didn't read the response above mine! I agree...I just kind of got a sort of tongue-in-cheek "yes I was just given a boatload of money to sign an extension" vibe from those promos. I've also noticed that he's moved away from the whole "bidding war of 2024" schtick that he was doing. Part of that is obviously because of his outright face turn, but I also think that part of it may be that he's already signed the extension and they don't want to go so hard on that storyline and have it be potentially derailed by the media.

Think he signed between a 1 and 3 year contract, i dont see him jumping yet, but might have signed a short extension

Maybe for his next 4 years but after that? He will probably leave for WWE.

if Tony is THAT bad of a businessman that he gave MJF all that money and a title run without an extension, then AEW deserves to go under.

He's only 27. He could realistically still do 2-3 years at AEW then have a run in WWE. And that's including if he still wants to do acting.

I'm leaning more towards yes as I'm under the impression MJF teasing the bidding war for his contract was a work.

I'm almost certain that an extension is signed, sealed and delivered as MJF has alluded to in an off-air promo. Tony Khan and MJF have both done a lot for each other and it would only make sense for their relationship to continue.
