MJF expected to have time off.
Added 2023-12-31 04:57:06 +0000 UTCMJF is no longer AEW Champion, and needs to heal up.
Many that Fightful spoke to immediately following AEW Worlds End said that they expect MJF to be off TV for a while immediately, if not almost immediately. MJF had sustained a plethora of injuries during his AEW Title reign, but was adamant that he wanted to see it through. As MJF is often influential in his own creative, there's always a chance he could insist on an absence not happening, but it's expected internally.
MJF has long said that his AEW contract is up at the start of 2024. He’s not told anyone any different, but WWE sources have claimed that they’ve not had conversations with him, though there was interest as recently as a year ago. However, most in AEW believe he re-signed well over a year ago, even though he’d never admit as such.
Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett and Wardlow were revealed as the Devils during AEW Worlds End.

I have thought it was Warlord not Wardlow. Whoops my bad.

2023-12-31 15:42:28 +0000 UTCCan’t blame MJF for taking some time off. I’ve enjoyed his run but he’s got to let these injuries heal. When he comes back, he’s going to get one of the greatest pops.

2023-12-31 07:46:24 +0000 UTCI think MJF knows that we know that he's re-signed. So they will just play cool with that. And Max can take a well deserved time off to heal up.

2023-12-31 06:01:37 +0000 UTCPeople just feel away about Bennett and Taven (boring) and not thrilled about lackey Wardlow. Also does this change the Bucks returning to make a heel stable? How many heel stables we gonna have?

2023-12-31 05:28:12 +0000 UTCIf he does surgery, which apparently he doesn't want to do, a torn labrum is a 6 month recovery minimum. Let alone his hip.

2023-12-31 05:24:13 +0000 UTCIt's only been mentioned a couple times on air, but go back and look up the origins of The Kingdom. Adam Cole as a founder and leader in ROH/NJPW prior to everyone going to WWE. Only Wardlow is new to this group.

2023-12-31 05:16:04 +0000 UTCDeep down, I kind of had a feeling Adam was The Devil. I think I'm far more surprised, though, that The Kingdom, Roddy, and, to a bigger extent of shock, Wardlow aided him this whole time. MJF deserves a good decently long break, though. A lot of the match, he looked like he was in more pain than Kenny was during HIS World title reign.

2023-12-31 05:12:29 +0000 UTCI doubt he’s off for over 8 months, considering he’s trying not to go for surgery. Revolution or the latest being DON is my guess

2023-12-31 05:09:12 +0000 UTCHow long we thinking it’s gonna be. I personally feel revolution is his comeback

2023-12-31 05:08:09 +0000 UTCI wish he had re-signed, talk about poor decisions!

2023-12-31 05:07:36 +0000 UTCAs expected. Just curious as to how they play out the whole devil stuff now with him being off TV for months. With Tony’s track record I’m not confident…
TF
2023-12-31 05:04:06 +0000 UTCDeserves it. That comback Run bout' to be Legendary.

2023-12-31 05:02:59 +0000 UTCWardlow back to square one being a lacky

2023-12-31 05:01:44 +0000 UTCYeah I don’t think he’s leaving anymore but a well deserved break definitely

2023-12-31 05:00:55 +0000 UTCMax was awesome tonight despite his physical limits. Time to rest

2023-12-31 05:00:46 +0000 UTCMJF deserves some time off. He's had an amazing reign.
