AEW star MJF had a fight with Tony Khan over his contract around two months ago, and he skipped a meet-and-greet session ahead of Double or Nothing. According to reports, they will hold a sit-down discussion to examine the current situation. Wade Keller discussed how many within WWE are reacting to the situation during a recent PWTorch radio programme. He added that the organization’s upper management would be prepared to provide The Salt of the Earth a hefty deal, and that Cody Rhodes’ representation in WWE has influenced his perception of how he’d be portrayed in the organization.
Keller said, “A source within WWE with knowledge of MJF’s stature among top WWE management indicates MJF is coveted and would likely be given a lucrative contract offer. In fact, it’s more than one source giving me information that with a big overlap on this. More than one source says that the treatment Cody has received by WWE on and off-air has given him a good impression of how he’d be featured in WWE if he were to make the jump. In other words, if Cody was buried or was given promises that were kept, maybe MJF would be handling this differently.”

Friedman was alleged to have booked a flight out of Las Vegas, where the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view was hosted, before the event. Many people said he wouldn’t go on the show, but he did, and Wardlow defeated him. MJF might not be happy but if he is going to leave AEW then it was an excellent way to write him off and MJF coming to WWE will be huge, as he is one of the best professional wrestlers and talker in the industry.
The Salt of the Earth is now one of AEW’s greatest performers, and WWE is sure to be interested in hiring him after his contract ends in 2024. Cody Rhodes, a former opponent, has been presented as a top talent on RAW. Wade Keller also stated that his difficulties with Tony Khan will not prevent WWE from signing him again.
Keller said, “One source in WWE told me that MJF is seen as such a commodity that his recent and tractable behavior on and off-air with AEW wouldn’t deter Vince McMahon from making him a lucrative offer. Although a falling out with AEW could take away considerable leverage for MJF, his value to WWE would remain high. They need people. He’s young, he’s good, and he’d be paid accordingly, regardless of his reputation in AEW. Now maybe that changes a little bit with the headache that Vince McMahon feels Sasha Banks and Naomi put him through, but maybe not. But his reputation, in general, might take a blow if details about his latest interactions with Khan and AEW reflect poorly on his professionalism.”
