They have a lot of potential here with the MJF stuff as long as they don’t rush it. Have to imagine this ends with him as champion. Clearly he is staying so it has to lead to something worthwhile.

Incredible work by MJF. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

What I find most amusing about the MJF stuff, and correct me if I'm wrong, but no one has access to AEW's payroll. It's not public record. Sure, ONE guy heard/saw what MJF is "making", said it, and now that's what we all believe. Same with his contract. It's up in 2024, but as far as I know that's not public record either. For all anyone knows, MJF reworked his contract recently and is making bank. He may even be signed past 2024. I got this thought after watching this Heyman interview about MJF. Listen to what he says about Brock and Roman. NO ONE knows anything unless it's leaked. Some dirtsheet writer who heard it from someone who heard it from someone who works at AEW ... lol.

Because wwe isn’t that creative Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Sasha is not suspended. Naomi didn't follow her lead. They didn't "leave their belts and walked out". You're being worked. And some people are still being worked via MJF ... and angle created BEFORE what went down in Vegas. Max is THAT good.

Yo Meltzer hated the MJF promo, I’m shocked, he felt like it made the company look dumb, made Tony Khan look stupid, and made Wardlow look irrelevant. He said it was shocking in the worst kind of way. Man I know his opinion doesn’t matter, but I can’t remember anything in the company he straight up hated since Brandi segments and the Dark Order

I’m not being worked when I don’t even watch their product lol but I do agree all of this MJF mad at the boss stuff has always come off as him in character as he is almost 100% of the time

I don’t think that Sasha is a work. She’s been a malcontent before and took someone down with her. If it’s a work, they got me, but I couldn’t care less. I don’t see the payoff since nobody gives a f#ck about the women’s tag belts, and Sasha doesn’t have the chops to pull off some badass anti-establishment character.
With MJF there’s a very clear payoff. I didn’t believe it was a work before DON, but now I’m thinking this has always been a work. Maybe months ago there was truth behind it, but in retrospect they did leave a small trail of breadcrumbs that led to this. All of the effusive Cody comments, the video he posted about not wanting to meet fans, Jericho posting that he should go and would be begging to return; looking back these things feel like they weren’t just throwaway incidents. MJF is absolutely talented and dedicated enough to pull this off, and chances are he’s being advised if not mentored by Punk. The best thing Schmosby can do is continue not to comment and keep everything quiet. The only beacon of WORK was MJF’s promo, but it was so damn good and empassioned that it worked…a little too well, in that he might’ve turned himself face. I’m curious to see where this goes, but if it’s ever revealed that Max got paid months ago and this was all a work, then they even worked Cornette. Cornette would have to tip a hat to that. They have to tread carefully now. Don’t have any goofy sports entertainment crap with MJF coming out of the crowd or ‘buying time’ on Dynamite. He should be off tv for awhile, and if Schmosby says anything at all he should say that it’s a private matter that they’re in the process of working out. This is one of the only stories I’ve been all in on for quite some time.
As for Sasha and Naomi I’m not a fan of either, but even if I was I couldn’t see a point to that being a work since MJF is more valuable than both of them put together. What would they do, come back under masks with Colonel Mustafa Ali as a re-imagining or Retribution because they were so mistreated?

No clue who will win the battle royal tonight. Just hope they give the main event some time.

AEW needs to just do normal battle royales or a royal rumble. Because their version sucks

Wouldn’t be surprised if Darby wins this given Tony’s infatuation with him.
