Love him or hate him (and he's such a great heel that it's probably the latter), there's no denying that MJF is one of the most talented wrestlers working today. Right now, the 25-year-old is making a huge impact in All Elite Wrestling, but could a WWE run be somewhere in his future?
Well, he's not ruling it out!
"I’d say I’d be near the end of my contract," he told Steel Chair Magazine when asked where he sees himself three or four years from now. "I would be the AEW World Champion, I would still be a part of the greatest faction in professional wrestling known as The Pinnacle, all of my brothers in arms would also have gold and then, at that point, the highest bidder, baby."
"Me and my boys, we’re willing to go wherever the money’s at, it’s that simple. Don’t get me wrong, AEW runs deep in me, I don’t want to leave, but I am a businessman at the end of the day, and I can’t help myself if somebody’s got an offer for me, I’m going to listen to it."
So, he's clearly open to the idea of a WWE run, but the wrestling landscape is likely to look vastly different four years from now, so who knows what might happen.
In the same interview, MJF opened up on the heat he gets for being so young. "I’m a prodigy, but people have been saying that about me since birth and the reason why it doesn’t shock me, but it shocks everybody else, is because, let’s face it, there’s ageism in this world. When people hear the number 25, they think, ‘Oh, that person probably doesn’t have their ducks in a row, he’s probably immature, he’s probably not ready for a big opportunity.’"
"I feel now when people talk about MJF, it’s no longer, ‘Man, he’s great for 25.’ That stops, thank God. It only took a year and a half of people having to do mental gymnastics pretending I’m not the best in the world. Now people just say MJF is great, period, and I’m very proud of that."
There's no denying that, and we're definitely excited to see where his in-ring career goes next...
